ORGANIC MATERIALS

All of our cotton is 100% organic and grown without harming the soil, water, or the health of farmers and wearers. Given the sustainability challenges today and the significant impact of the fashion and textile industry on these challenges, it is crucial that we collectively rethink the production and consumption of textiles. Organic fibers play a vital role in fostering an industry that reduces environmental impact and prioritizes human health over short-term profit.

A textile product with the GOTS label must contain at least 70% certified organic fibers, while a product labeled 'organic' must have a minimum of 95% certified organic fibers.

Organic fibers are natural fibers grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), adhering to the principles of organic agriculture. This method of production sustains the health of ecosystems, soils, and people. (Global Standard)

NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS

We maintain a comprehensive list of restricted chemicals that are known to pose significant risks to the environment, textile workers, and the end user. This list is curated to ensure that harmful substances are excluded from our production processes, thereby safeguarding the health of our planet, the safety of those involved in textile manufacturing, and the well-being of individuals who wear our products.

By meticulously controlling the use of chemicals, we aim to minimize the release of pollutants into the environment, reduce the exposure of workers to hazardous substances, and prevent any potential harm to the skin and health of our customers. Our commitment to this rigorous standard reflects our dedication to promoting sustainable practices and enhancing the overall safety and quality of our textiles.

ETHICAL PRODUCTION

We exclusively collaborate with trusted producers, ensuring we have a thorough understanding of their operational practices. This close relationship allows us to ensure that every aspect of our production process, from initial processing and manufacturing to packaging, labeling, and trading, adheres to stringent ecological and social criteria. By adhering to these standards, we guarantee that our supply chain not only minimizes environmental impact but also promotes social responsibility.
