Organic Cotton

Organic crops aren't treated with harmful pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and genetically modified organisms. These toxins are harmful for farmers and workers, us as consumers, and entire wildlife eco-systems. Organic cotton is grown using 91% less water than regular cotton and is also more comfortable, better quality and lasts longer....
Growing organic fibers is safe for the environment and the people. Since organic cotton is not stripped of its natural wax, when woven together it is seamlessly smooth. This gives the fabric a soft and smooth finish. This fabric is highly moisture absorbent and is gentle on the skin.

  • Recycled Wool

    Wool has long been regarded as an eco-friendly fibre choice that boasts numerous benefits. To recount, it’s a powerful insulator, 100% natural, renewable, long-lasting and biodegradable. However, producing virgin wool can be a resource-intensive job that relies on large amounts of land for grazing sheep, a ton of water to clean the fibre, and copious amounts of chemicals and dyes to treat the finished fabric.......
    By using recycled wool, we are decreasing our dependence on excessive chemicals, water and energy, while extending the lifespan of a fibre that has already been produced.
