We gotta talk about this.

The future of fashion must be organic.

Why?

Because it is WAY better for the environment than conventional cotton!

How can that be?

Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

As one of the most heavily pesticided crops, conventional cotton is a major contributor to environmental degradation. Cotton fields are known for leaking pesticides into the groundwater and surrounding ecosystems, endangering human health and threatening wildlife habitats.

Generally speaking,organic cotton is farmed by local, independent farmers who get living salaries and operate in secure environments.

Also, organic cotton fabrics are more durable. As a result, buying clothes made from organic cotton is a better long term decision.
