ORGANIC MATERIALS

All our cotton is 100% organic and grown without harming the soil, water, or the health of farmers and wearers. Given today's sustainability challenges and the significant impact of the fashion and textile industry, it is crucial to rethink the production and consumption of textiles. Organic fibers play a vital role in fostering a more environmentally friendly industry that prioritizes environmental protection and human health over short-term profits.

A textile product with the GOTS label must contain at least 70% certified organic fibers, while a product labelled as "organic" must contain at least 95% certified organic fibers.

Organic fibers are natural fibers grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), following the principles of organic farming. This sustainable cultivation method protects the health of ecosystems, soils, and people.

NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS

We maintain a comprehensive list of restricted chemicals that have been proven to pose significant risks to the environment, textile workers, and end consumers. This list ensures that harmful substances are excluded from our production processes to protect the health of our planet, the safety of people working in textile manufacturing, and the well-being of those who wear our products.

Through strict control of chemical use, we minimize the release of pollutants into the environment, reduce worker exposure to hazardous substances, and avoid potential skin and health risks for our customers. Our commitment to these high standards reflects our responsibility for sustainable practices and the safety and quality of our textiles.

ETHICAL PRODUCTION

We work exclusively with trusted producers and ensure that we have a thorough understanding of their production processes. This close collaboration allows us to guarantee that every step of our production – from initial processing and manufacturing to packaging, labeling, and distribution – meets strict environmental and social criteria. By adhering to these standards, we guarantee that our supply chain not only minimizes environmental impact but also promotes social responsibility.
