Why Sustainable Fabrics are Important - Organic Cotton

This sustainable material is grown without toxic chemicals that damage the environment. Organic cotton is a socially, ethically, and environmentally responsible fiber that is great for the planet and people. It is buttery soft and feels just as good as regular cotton.

Organic cotton must be GOTS certified which is the World Standard for Organic Textiles. This seal guarantees that the fabric is made from organic fibers and ensures its quality and sustainability rating.

Why should you wear organic cotton?

When comparing organic cotton to regular cotton or synthetic fabrics it is a clear winner. The incredible environmental and humanitarian costs outweigh any additional monetary cost that might come with organic cotton.

The benefits of organic cotton include:

• No chemicals are leached into the local environment and the crop is grown without GMOs
• People with allergies or chemical sensitivity can wear organic cotton without negative side effects
• Free from toxic dyes and treatments such as formaldehyde and heavy metals
• Lower carbon footprint as it uses less water and energy to produce
• Safer for farm workers on cotton plantations
• Promotes a sustainable supply chain
