To try reduce the impact of our products, we prioritize sourcing from certified factories, and often use (non-exclusively) organic, natural or recycled materials. Choosing lower-impact materials is a core part of our ongoing effort to be a better alternative.
our materials
Cotton - Organic fibers
Cotton is a natural fiber that is commonly used for its breathability, and softness. Using organic cotton instead of regular cotton has the potential to build soil health, as it is grown without the use of synthetic fertilisers.
We prioritise certifying the finished product with internationally recognised standards including GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). Only products carrying the GOTS label and claim are certified (certified by CU 1067589).
Recycled Nylon - Synthetic fibers
Using recycled materials can help reduce the impact of its production by conserving resources and diverting waste from landfills. Known for its durability, nylon can withstand frequent washing and wear without losing its shape. Synthetic materials should be washed with care to reduce the release of microfibers. We prioritize certifying products made with recycled fibers with the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). Only products carrying the GRS label and claim are certified (certified by CU 1067589).
TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal - Wood based fibers
TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are naturally soft and smooth to the touch. TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests. The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource. TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.
LENZING™ ECOVERO - Wood based fibers
Naturally lightweight, these fibers give woven and knitted fabrics a tactile softness and flowing drape. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are derived from certified or controlled wood sources. LENZING™ and ECOVERO™ are trademarks of Lenzing AG.
our Certifications
Global Organic Textile Standard
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic natural fibres. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. GOTS defines requirements for ecological and labour conditions. It has two label grades: Organic (at least 95% certified organic fibres) and Made with Organic (at least 70% certified organic fibres). Only products with a valid label and claim are GOTS certified.
Global Recycled Standard
Products certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) contain recycled material that has been independently verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the recycler to the final product. In addition, facilities from the recycler to final supplier have met social, environmental, and chemical requirements. Organic Basics is GRS certified, CU 1067589. Only the products which carry the GRS label and claim are certified.
Organic Content Standard
Products certified to the Organic Content Standard Blended (OCS Blended) contain between 5-94% certified organically grown content that has been independently verified at each stage of the supply chain, from source to final product. Organic cotton is produced and certified to organic agricultural standards, which require practices to sustain ecosystems. Organic Basics is OCS certified, CU 1067589. Only the products which carry the OCS label and claim are certified.
Responsible Wool Standard
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) describes and independently certifies animal welfare and land management practices in wool fiber production and tracks the certified material from farm to final product. Products certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) contain wool from farms independently certified to animal welfare and land management requirements. Organic Basics is RWS certified, CU 1067589. Only the products which carry the RWS label and claim are certified.
