Organic Cotton
Natural and Renewable Plant fibers
What is Organic Cotton?
Natural seeds are used to produce organic cotton, and organic farmers use natural methods to grow their crops. This means no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics or growth hormones.
We are conscious that relying on one plant fiber source can lead to over-reliance and promote the practices of monocropping. Monoculture plantations (monocropping) weaken the soil, deplete soil nutrients, reduce local biodiversity and increase the risk of pests. This happens with cotton on a global scale. Because of this, we are actively working to incorporate a more diverse range of materials, to help reduce the world’s dependence on cotton.

What are the benefits of organic cotton?
Soft to touch.
Organic cotton products are softer than regular cotton because of the longer fibers. Being handpicked [not machine picked] ensures these fibers don’t get weakened or broken, resulting in softer and more durable products.
Safer for the skin.
As there is no use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals, organic cotton products are safer for the skin. Products manufactured with conventional cotton can cause allergic reactions to the skin.
Farmer health.
Avoiding the use of hazardous synthetic pesticides means farmers aren’t putting their health at risk to make our clothes.
Protects the planet.
Eliminating hazardous synthetic pesticides from cotton farming build healthy soils which store carbon and help to combat climate change.
