As a way to reduce our water consumption, we primarily choose synthetic fibers, as the cultivation and textile processing of cotton require significant amounts of water, pesticides, and fertilizers. To make our cotton-based products last longer, we sometimes blend the material with other fibers to increase durability in garments that need to withstand extra wear and tear.
Cotton is a soft natural fiber with good breathability, which we use for T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets. The majority of our cotton-based garments are made from organic cotton, certified according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and our goal is for all the cotton we use to be organic and GOTS-certified.
GOTS (the standard for processing organic textile fibers) encompasses organic and social criteria and is supported by independent third-party certification of the entire textile supply chain. This ensures that the cotton is organic and that all steps in textile production are carried out in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner.
