Organic Cotton Clothing

Fair trade and organic cotton go hand in hand—each purchase is a vote with your dollars. You promote responsible sourcing, uplift farmers and artisans, and protect the environment. Feel good about putting organic cotton next to your skin: it’s free from toxic dyes and pesticides. Farmers are not exposed to toxic chemicals in the field or through their water supply, and creating organic cotton clothes use significantly less water and energy than conventional cotton. Our organic cotton collection is beyond basic: from seed to finished product, it’s sustainability at its best.

The Facts:

What is organic cotton?

Organic cotton is grown, processed, and certified under organic agricultural standards. Its production maintains healthy soils, ecosystems, and farmers by using traditional, natural methods of crop-grouping, weeding, and pest control instead of using artificial chemicals and genetically modified organisms.

Why choose organic cotton?

Organic cotton is better for people and the planet. Growing organic cotton means farmers aren’t exposed to harmful chemicals and pesticides. When you buy organic cotton you are investing in water conservation, cleaner air, better soil and farmer livelihoods.
