GOTS - Global Organic Textiles Standard
What is the Global Organic Textile Standard?
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading worldwide standard for textile processing of organic fibres. It goes beyond just a label—it ensures transparency, traceability, and credibility throughout the entire supply chain, covering every aspect from sourcing to labelling.
Why should you choose GOTS-certified products?
In today's world, conscious consumerism is on the rise, and your choices matter. By opting for products with the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, you not only benefit yourself but also contribute to a healthier planet.
Your demand for sustainable and ethically produced textiles sends a powerful message to manufacturers and retailers. This growing demand propels the fashion industry toward a circular economy, where resources are used efficiently, waste is minimised, and products are designed for recycling or biodegradation. Together, we can shape a more sustainable future for fashion.
3 reasons why we love GOTS certification:
1. A product that protects our planet
GOTS ensures the use of raw materials grown following organic principles that maintain soil health without resorting to toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. This commitment promotes biodiversity, safeguards ecosystems, and preserves soil fertility. GOTS also sets limits on water usage and wastewater treatment, minimising the industry’s impact on water resources.
2. A product that respects humanity
With GOTS certification, you can be confident that the entire supply chain adheres to fair and safe working conditions. It prohibits child labour, forced labour, and discrimination. Fair wages, decent working hours, and a focus on work health and safety are given high priority.
3. A product that prioritises animal welfare
GOTS recognises the importance of ethical animal welfare and establishes guidelines and requirements for sourcing animal-derived materials, such as wool, cashmere, and silk.
Our GOTS-certified cashmere
Our Grade A cashmere is renowned for its unparalleled warmth and luxurious softness. However, the production of cashmere has raised concerns about animal welfare and the environment. Unethical practices like overgrazing and inadequate living conditions harm goats and their ecosystems. With GOTS-certified cashmere, you can trust that our goats are treated ethically, ensuring their well-being and preventing harmful practices like mulesing. GOTS also emphasises transparency and traceability, allowing you to trace your cashmere's journey from the final product back to its source.
Our GOTS-certified organic cotton
Cotton is a vital natural fibre in the textile industry. Unfortunately, conventional cotton production often comes with heavy pesticide use, excessive water consumption, and negative social impacts. Our cotton is GOTS-certified, and we tackle these issues head-on. By embracing organic and sustainable farming practices, we avoid genetically modified organisms and synthetic chemicals. Instead, we rely on natural methods to control pests and maintain soil fertility.
