Design And Production

Our choice of material: 

Organic Cotton: Organic cotton is cotton that is produced and certified to organic agricultural standards. Its production sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people by using natural processes rather than artificial inputs. Importantly organic cotton farming does not allow the use of toxic chemicals or GMOs (genetically modified organisms). No toxic chemicals are used in the growing of organic cotton which means it doesn’t damage the soil, has less impact on the air, and uses 88% less water and 62% less energy. Conventional cotton uses about 16% of the world’s insecticides and 7% of pesticides. Instead, it combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote a good quality of life for all involved.

Organic Bamboo: Bamboo is one of the most eco friendly fabrics on the planet. Fast growing it can naturally replenish itself quickly. 100% biodegradable, the most renewable resource on the planet and provides an abundance of usable oxygen making it a crucial element in the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Thanks to modern manufacturing bamboo pulp is now capable of creating bamboo fibre which is turned into yarn and fabric. Bamboo is similar to softness as silk, since the fibres are without chemical treatment they are naturally smoother and rounder with no sharp spurs to irritate the skin. Bamboo fabric is hypoallergenic and perfect for those who experience allergic reactions to fibres. It is also antibacterial and anti fungal, this is because bamboo naturally possesses and bacterial agents allowing it to naturally flourish and grow wiht out the use of pesticides and fertilisers.

Tencel: Made from the wood of the Eucalyptus tree, it is extremely hypoallergenic for those with sensitive skin, there are 100% no pesticides used in producing tercel.  In comparison to conventionally dyed fabrics, up to 50% of the energy and water can be saved as well as 60% less carbon foot print.

Silk: Silk has made its mark in the fabric industry for being one of the more coveted fabrics in the world. Its natural sheen and softness make it a truly luxury product. New research suggest that silk isn’t just for looks. Silk amino acids, a natural nutrient found in the fabric, have been found reduce the specific signs of ageing. Because of its natural protein structure silk is known for its hypoallergenic properties, making it compatible with all skin types. Its dense fabric structure prevents dust and mites from accumulating, which can be of relief to people with eczema and asthma.
