The University Book Store is proud to carry two clothing brands that believe in fair trade, sustainability, respect for their workers and doing good things in their communities.

Alta Gracia is known for implementing a living wage in the Dominican Republic. Workers are paid enough to provide a family access to three healthy meals a day, a safe home, transportation, healthcare, and education. Proceeds from these purchases go directly to the people making the clothing, helping to provide a pathway out of poverty. The Book Store carries an assortment of Alta Gracia products, including long and short sleeve t-shirts.

League Collegiate Outfitters seeks to improve the lives of their employees with programs in El Salvador including financial assistance and gang rehabilitation. The Book Store carries an assortment of League products, including t-shirts, hooded and pullover sweatshirts, pants and shorts.

Please visit our store in the Olmsted Center to see these new products.
