Our clothing is certified organic by Control Union, formerly SKAL – probably the biggest and best globally known certification agency in the world. Our collections are certified to GOTS standards (that’s the Global Organic Textile Standard), which is basically the set of criteria that the Soil Association, Control Union, IMO and many other global agencies have signed up to.

Something many people do not realise is that if your clothing is certified organic to GOTS standards all areas of the supply chain have been audited to comply with strict social criteria as well such as: a living wage is paid, freedom to join unions etc, maximum 48 hour week, no child labour etc.
See www.global-standard.org for more details.

Our manufacturers have achieved this standard which goes even further than those laid down in GOTS. It is an internationally renowned standard that has very strict criteria. For example, our manufacturers supply all their workers AND their families with health insurance, a life-line in a country with no NHS.

All cotton used in our products comes from a Fair Trade supplier (a co-operative of 200 cotton farmers that we have worked with since our beginning  4 years ago) which has been certified by the Fair Trade Labelling Organisation (FLO). This means that the farmers get a Fair Trade premium price as well as a higher premium for being organic from us.

We belong to a global alliance of companies that give 1% of sales turnover, regardless of whether we make a profit or loss, to environmental grass-roots charities. We are currently involved in 2 projects; the first with the Pesticide Action Network in Benin, W. Africa  helping research into new improved methods for organic cotton farmers and the second with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust BEEP project, helping to prevent marine mammal strandings’.
