Organic cotton uses less water than traditional cotton. It produces around 46% less co2 while depositing CO2 into the soil, enhancing soil fertility. It is non GM and grown without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers. This diminishes farmer health related problems and the burden of pesticide debt. Our organic cotton is certified by the world’s leading standard for organic fibers, G.O.T.S.
Our fur is 100% biodegradable, while respecting animal well-being. It is made from groomed animal fiber (mohair) that is reclaimed from angora goats, the same way wool is from sheep. Our fur fibers are secured in 100% cotton backing fabric. so, unlike traditional fur, there is no need to use animal skin. We are currently working to switch the traditional cotton backing to 100% G.O.T.S certified organic cotton.
Organic supima cotton uses less water than traditonal cotton. It produces around 46% less locks CO2 while depositing co2 into the soil, enhancing soil fertility.

While the negative impact of virgin cashmere is extremely high, we will use substitutes such as regenerated baby camel hair. We restore leftover baby camel fabric offcuts, which are mechanically revamped into new yarn. This process has been widely used by our supplier, since the 1800’s, supporting conventional expertise and prolonging the life of this lightweight and luxurious fiber.
