It starts with the fiber.
Organic cotton comes from farms working to recognized organic agriculture standards. GOTS requires organic fibers to be certified before they enter its textile processing chain.
Our difference
Softness you can feel.
Care you can look into.
What touches their skin matters. Here is what sits behind our organic pieces, from the fiber to the people who make them.
Care goes into the color.
GOTS sets requirements for the dyes and chemical inputs used in certified processing, and testing criteria for finished textiles.
People and planet count.
GOTS criteria address working conditions, workers’ rights and environmental practices, including wastewater treatment. Independent certification bodies audit compliance.
Organic, explained
Good questions to ask.
What does GOTS certification cover?
GOTS is a textile processing standard. It follows certified organic fibers through processing, manufacturing and trading, and combines requirements for materials, chemical inputs, environmental management and social conditions. Organic farming itself is certified under recognized agricultural standards.
What should I look for on the label?
GOTS has two label grades: “organic” requires at least 95% certified organic fibers, and “made with organic materials” requires at least 70%. Check the certification label and fiber composition of the specific piece you choose.
Are all parts of a product made from cotton?
Materials vary by product. For bedding and padded pieces, look at the shell and fill separately. The product page and the sewn-in label describe that particular piece.
What does OEKO-TEX mean?
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 is a label for textiles tested for a defined list of harmful substances. Every component of a labeled item, down to the thread and buttons, is tested, and items for babies and toddlers up to age three are tested against the strictest limits. Each label carries a certificate number you can check on the OEKO-TEX website.
We show the OEKO-TEX label only on products covered by a current certificate.
What does Fair Trade mean?
A Fair Trade Certified factory meets independently verified social, economic and environmental standards. Brands pay a premium on each certified item, and the factory’s workers elect a committee that decides how that money is spent in their community.
We show the Fair Trade label only on products covered by a current certificate.
How can I check your GOTS certification?
Our certification number is listed in the public GOTS certified suppliers database. For a specific piece, look for the certification label and check its fiber composition on the product page. If you have a question, our team is happy to help.
