CHOOSING OUR MATERIALS CONSCIOUSLY
ORGANIC COTTON
From day one, we have chosen to use only 100% organic cotton, grown from seeds that have not been genetically modified (non-GMO) and cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
We initially sourced all our organic cotton from India, but since 2021 we have diversified our sourcing to include suppliers in other countries such as Turkey.
Globally, only a very small portion of the cotton produced annually is organic. Cultivating organic cotton ensures that no harmful chemicals flow into the soil or into adjoining rivers, lakes or seas. This means that the water used for organic farming is not considered as lost water, as it can be used again and can safely return to the soil and other water sources. The overall positive effect on water, soil and biodiversity means that the well-being and livelihood of cotton farmers and their communities is respected and protected.
Benefits of organic cotton versus conventional cotton
GOTS CERTIFICATION
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is based on both ecological and social criteria and certifies that the cotton is organically grown, without the use of genetically modified seeds or any harmful chemical products.
Throughout our collections, we chose to work using only 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. Transaction certificates at every stage of production confirm the traceability and organic content of our products from the post-harvested raw material to the final customer.
