Organic cotton is a type of cotton that is produced without the use of pesticides or synthetic chemicals. Instead, farmers use natural and organic methods to control pests and weeds. This makes organic cotton safer for the environment, the farmers and the people who use it.
The fibers have great advantages and fascinating properties that we would like to introduce to you here.
The GOTS certificate
Global Organic Textile Standard, which means “World Standard for Organic Textiles” – is a seal that guarantees that a fabric comes strictly from organic fibres, ensuring its quality and sustainability.
The GOTS certified cotton has been subjected to strict controls that ensure the resistance of the material and the solidity of the colour, the use of natural dyes, as well as the origin of organic fibres. Both the manufacturing process of the fabric and the cultivation of its cotton fibres are sustainable, reducing water consumption and waste that may be generated from this activity. This certificate is also a guarantee of decent working conditions.
