A LITTLE ON NATURAL FIBRES & CARE

Here you will find a little information on the benefits of the natural fibres we choose and how they can be cared for.

Organic Cotton

Cotton is the most popular natural fibre in the world. Cotton covers around 3% of the worlds cultivated land, yet conventional cotton alone uses around 25% of the worlds insecticides and 10% of the worlds pesticides. Naturally the knock- on effect of this is somewhat of an environmental and social disaster. Organic cotton crops are not treated with insecticides, pesticides, herbicides and GMO’s. The crops also require less irrigation, don’t pollute waterways, promote biodiversity and are healthier for farmers, farm workers and their communities.
