Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals and it uses around 46% less water when compared to conventional cotton, protecting the ecosystem, reducing wastage of water and ensuring a safer working environment for the farmers and manufacturers.

Did you know that conventional cotton cultivation is the culprit in the use of one quarter of the insecticides all over the world?

And if we add the production process of fiber they account together for 10% of our planet’s total pollution?

And did you know that conventional cotton cultivation is one of the main water consumers?

The ethical alternative is the use of organic cotton.

No chemicals or synthetics are used in the cultivation and production process and the water used for growing the plant is only rain water.

Thus, this fabric becomes completely natural, sustainable and biodegradable.

The cotton which we work with has its origins in Brazil, it is coloring agent and toxic free, it is hypoallergenic and ideal for people with skin problems and who suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS).

The health of the 150 farmers that work at the company is assured by labor certifications and by the project OCCGuarantee.

This project supports workers and entire families with the aim of generating local wealth, without intermediaries and without exploitation.

The farmers own their land and see their autonomy and stability assured.
