GOTS standard
True sustainability starts with the material. That's why our clothing is certified according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) - the world's leading standard for the production of textiles from organically produced natural fibers. But GOTS is much more than just an organic label: it looks at the entire textile supply chain and ensures that environmental and social standards are observed in equal measure.
