Is it more expensive?
Yes as the production of organic cotton can be more labour intensive, it tends to be more expensive than conventionally grown cotton. The price is well worth the satisfaction of knowing that organic cotton products are truly the most environmentally friendly choice.
Is organic cotton dyed?
We offer both undyed and dyed organic cotton items. Our dyed items are made with low-impact dye, which is gentler to the environment than conventional dye. Rather than chlorine bleaching our fabrics before dying them, ours are treated with non-toxic hydrogen peroxide. We only use dyes and chemicals that are certified by SKAL, Control Union and IMO as per the Organic Standard.
Is organic cotton as durable as conventional cotton?
Yes. Because it is less processed, organic cotton is often more durable than conventional cotton. Organic cotton is not treated with harsh chemicals that can wear down its fibres.
By choosing an Organic Cotton product, you are assured that Organic Standards are met and that Certification is carried out under strict guidelines. When we promote ‘Organic Cotton’, it means that the cotton grower/producer has been certified by an independent authority. Their yarns have been grown according to certain criteria, and they have met defined Organic Standards.
Does organic cotton feel different that conventional cotton?
Organic cotton is soft to the touch, and it is comparable in feel to other high quality cottons.
