Fibers we use in our clothing
-
Organic Cotton
Organic Cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides or fertilizers, which can end up in the ground, air, water and food supply. This is also a positive, eco-friendly working condition that does not harm the health of those processing the cotton. Since conventional cotton may retain risky toxic residues, people with allergies and sensitive skin can wear organic cotton with a comfort of both mind and body.

Bamboo
Bamboo fiber is softer than cotton and has a natural sheen to the surface and feels like silk or cashmere. Bamboo is nature’s most sustainable resource in its natural state and is grown without pesticides or chemicals. It’s 100 % biodegradable and naturally regenerative. Bamboo is a tropical grass with a root system that sends out four to six shoots per year and growing to heights of 60 feet or more. But to produce bamboo into fiber, it is a regenerated cellulose fiber similar to rayon, chemicals are being used in the factory and they may not follow the proper guidelines of sustainable practice.

Soy

Hemp
