What our customers are saying
So pleased!
I considered buying the Lupa Large Canvas tote for many months and I'm so glad I finally made the purchase. It is incredibly sturdy and well-constructed. I love the little inside pocket for my phone and keys. It works well when carrying only a few items, and also fills up well when going out for an all-day outing. I've received so many compliments! I will be a repeat customer

Gabriela Palmer on Honua Pouches
The highest quality cotton canvas.
This is the sturdiest cotton canvas I have ever seen! This kind of bag will definitely last a lifetime. I’m looking forward to years of good use and I will be ordering from Terra Thread again.

Best Backpack Ever!
I absolutely love this backpack! I use it to carry items around for my 3.5 year old. I wanted to find a backpack that wasn’t full of toxic chemicals and this is it! The color is beautiful and it’s the perfect size! Super happy with this purchase! Will definitely continue buying from this company!!!

Peter Rozing
Blown away by both the ethics and quality of my Terra Thread bags. I purchased two backpacks for my kids heading back to school during their bogo promo so with each backpack I got a tote bag for free. And I love every single bag we have received. This is the only organic cotton fair trade product line I have found! Their quality of fabrics and stitching is impeccable, I am very pleased with my purchases! Plus: kid approved!

I got the 13” one for my MAC and I cannot begin to say how much I love it. Fits great and is fantastically made. My lab even got a hold of it and there was no damage. Definitely addicted to Terra Thread.
Ansley
I love my purchases! The backpack is so durable and heavy duty. It Carrie's my laptop, textbooks, and personal items. The quality is great and the color is beautiful. The tote is durable as well. A little on the smaller side but I love them both!

Water is at the core of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, energy, and food production, healthy ecosystems and for human survival itself… [it is also] serving as the crucial link between society and the environment says the United Nations (UN). An average American family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home. We are ALSO wasting water every day and lots of it.
While practicing physical distancing you may have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes or remaking your favorite dishes. You may have even found ways to reduce food waste with proper planning. As much as we try to reduce waste there are few things we cannot avoid wasting, like vegetable and fruit scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, and more. If you hate throwing these food scraps into your trash bin and sending them to landfills where they may not decompose properly due to tight space and lack of oxygen then there is something you may be able to do at home: Composting!
Nordstrom has launched a new store and online site named “See You Tomorrow”, featuring secondhand clothing from brands sold at the traditional Nordstrom stores. Many of these pre-owned items are in “like new” or pristine condition, making their discounted price tags a steal.
