Organic cotton is grown according to organic farming criteria set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). Under these criteria, organic agriculture should avoid the use of harmful pesticides, fertilisers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in order to respect the soil and those who live from it. Conventional agriculture is not regulated in this way.
Organic cotton is a more sustainable choice when it comes to cultivating cotton. Instead of the chemical cultivation methods typically used for conventional cotton, organic cotton farming uses natural and traditional techniques. As a result, it uses less energy, requires no harmful chemicals, and releases fewer greenhouse gases. And because organic production systems improve soil quality, significantly less water is used. The overall positive effect on water, soil, and biodiversity means the well-being and livelihood of farmers and their communities are respected and protected.
In accordance with the main certifications our suppliers holds, i.e Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX and GOTS, any chemical substances they use pose no risk to human health and the environment. For some steps of our production process, we need to use certain non-toxic chemicals to achieve the desired performance or aesthetics of a product.
Most of the organic cotton we use for our products comes from India and Turkey, the two largest organic cotton producers worldwide.
All our products comply with textile industry standards and requirements in terms of their physical and chemical properties, as well as durability and lifespan. Washing instructions are indicated on the label of each product. Most should be washed at 30°C and line-dried (i.e not in a tumbler drier). If ironing is required turning the shirt inside out to iron making sure you do not iron on the print. as well as helping to protect the environment, following these care instructions will help ensure the longest life possible for the products.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognised as the world’s leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, and includes ecological and social criteria. GOTS certification provides assurance that cotton is grown organically, i.e without GMOs or any substances that could harm the environment or the healt of farmers or factory workers. It ensures traceability throughout the supply chain, from ginnin (separation of cotton fibres from the seeds) all the way to the final customer, and transaction certificates are issued at every stage.
