Ethically Made in Nepal with GOTS-certified organic cotton
To take your natural fiber closet to the next level, we use GOTS-certified organic cotton. GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard, and since its introduction in 2006, it has set the highest worldwide standard for the processing of organic fibers. This comprehensive standard covers the entire textile chain.
GOTS certification is recognized and accepted in all major world markets, so no matter where your organic clothing was grown and manufactured, all certified products meet the exact same stringent standards.
GOTS doesn’t just verify that a fabric is organic—it ensures that every step of the process, from seed to finished garment, meets the highest and most strict environmental and ethical practices. This includes the use of organic farming practices, safe and biodegradable dyes, no harmful chemicals, and fair treatment of workers.
Ethical standards: GOTS certification requires compliance with International Labour Organization (ILO) standards. This includes fair wages, no forced or child labor, safe working conditions, and freedom of association. This means regularly audited factories to maintain compliance with these standards.
Free from harmful chemicals: GOTS-certified products can only carry the label if they contain at least 70% certified organic fibers (for products labeled "made with organic"), and at least 95% certified organic fibers for the label "organic." Organic fibers must be organically processed in order to have organic fabric. An organic fabric is one that is third party certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard. Fabrics. Synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers are not allowed in the growing process.
Organically Dyed: In addition to the fibers, biodegradable and low-impact dyes and inputs are the standard. GOTS restricts the use of toxic chemicals in processing, such as azo dyes, formaldehyde, and heavy metals.
