Materials
Why is the choice of materials so important?
The choice of materials is crucial for sustainability because it affects the environmental impact of production, usage, and disposal. Sustainable materials reduce resource consumption, minimize waste, and lower carbon emissions, contributing to a healthier planet.
Organic Cotton
We only source our clothing from manufacturers who adhere to the following standards: they exclusively use GOTS certified organic cotton, which is grown from non-GMO seeds and cultivated without chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Why GOTS certified cotton?
Using GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified cotton is crucial for several reasons related to environmental sustainability, human health, and ethical production practices.
-
Non-GMO Seeds
Non-GMO (genetically modified organism) seeds are essential because they preserve the natural genetic diversity of crops. Using non-GMO seeds in organic cotton farming ensures that the plants are grown from seeds that have not been altered in a laboratory.
-
No Chemical Substances
The use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in conventional cotton farming poses significant risks to both the environment and human health. By using organic methods, GOTS certified cotton eliminates these harmful substances. This is beneficial for environmental protection, soil health and water conservation.

Impact on Human Health
The use of GMOs and chemical treatments in cotton farming is not only detrimental to the environment but also poses significant health risks to humans. Organic cotton ensures that harmful residues are not present in the final product. This is not only beneficial for consumers, but also for cotton farmers.
