It’s clear that the world is getting a little out of hand. It’s also clear that more and more of us are becoming aware and trying to put a stop to this madness. Although it’s true that we destroy things much faster than we become aware of the damage, every gesture matters. We may not be able to fight on every front, but we can contribute as much as we can. For example, by buying eco-friendly fabric made under conditions that respect the environment and social justice.
Would you like to know what impact it has and what it means? What exactly are you supporting and avoiding when you buy eco-friendly and “fair” fabric? It will only take a few minutes and bring you a great deal of personal satisfaction—you’ll see.
Look how happy our mustard bunnies are because they’re eco-friendly
Buying eco-friendly and socially responsible fabric
This isn’t the first time we’ve mentioned the GOTS certification: Global Organic Textile Standard. This certification establishes a series of strict criteria covering the entire fabric production process. From growing the cotton through the marketing process. Fair working conditions, a ban on highly toxic chemicals commonly used in the textile industry, waste treatment, saving water and energy…
Everything is monitored.
Practically all the fabrics you’ll find in the website’s knit and organic knit section have GOTS certification. You’ll find this information in the product description, just below the composition.
The GOTS team, the official organization that grants the certification and makes sure producers continue meeting the requirements after receiving it, has put together a really cool video. One of those modern ones, with little drawings that a hand makes appear on screen and a very simple explanation.
We’ll leave it here so you can know exactly what you’re “buying” when you decide to pay a little more for organic fabric. Hopefully, one day, they’ll all be like this.
