Certificates

We take sustainability very seriously and only work with manufacturers that are certified according to strict environmental and ethical standards. Likewise, only certified colors are used for the prints applied to our textiles.

These certificates include:

Organic Content Standard (OCS 100):

WHY DO WE USE ORGANIC COTTON?
