organic cotton

Imported organic cotton products

Organic cotton is an ecologically responsible fiber.

Unlike conventional cotton, which uses more chemicals than any other crop, it is never genetically modified and does not use polluting chemicals found in pesticides, herbicides and many fertilizers.

Integrated soil and pest management techniques—such as crop rotation and introducing natural predators of cotton pests—are also practiced in organic cotton cultivation.

All organic cotton producers must meet GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) standards in their cultivation and production practices. Both the land and crops must be inspected and certified each year.

The organic fabrics we use are certified by Control Union, IMO and NOP, to name a few.


Local organic cotton products

This fabric is produced in Australia from certified organic cotton imported from India and Turkey.

Each cotton bale is tested and classed by an independent body for its quality by the Australian Classing Services based in Narrabri, and the yarn is spun and certified by the the Control Union (formerly SKAL) based in Victoria.
