Everything you need to know about our Organic Cotton
Organic Cotton is a versatile plant-based fiber that is grown responsibly. It’s ideal to be worn everyday and we use two premium yarns to craft knitwear on different gauges.
Organic Cotton only accounts for just around 1% of the global cotton production.
It’s a natural fiber that doesn't include the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or genetically modified seeds (GMOs) during its production.
It's a more sustainable solution also because it saves up to 91% of water during its cultivation, compared to standard cotton.
This type of cotton is grown using farming practices that respect the environment and the farmers who harvest it.
