ABOUT THE MATERIAL
Why we chose organic cotton
For our products, we chose a path that keeps environmental impact to a minimum and avoids chemicals and other harmful substances. That’s why we use organic cotton.
It’s gentler on skin, more durable and softer thanks to lighter-touch processing. It breathes well and is suitable for people with allergies and for kids with sensitive skin.
- No harsh chemicals: no pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilisers
- Skin friendly: suitable even for allergy sufferers
- Lower water impact and overall environmental footprint
- Ethical production with fair working conditions

Where our cotton comes from
Our organic cotton is sourced from certified growers who meet GOTS standards and cultivate cotton without GMOs, pesticides, or herbicides. Every supplier is carefully selected with sustainability, fair conditions and full material traceability in mind.
Water consumption in production
Growing 1 kg of raw cotton requires 7,000–30,000 litres of water, which amounts to roughly 3% of global agricultural water use.
Our production in Czechia
All our clothing is sewn in our own workshop in Czechia, where we control the quality of every piece. That means fair working conditions, full oversight, and a real impact on the local economy.

Ethics & certifications
To be labelled organic, cotton must meet strict criteria such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or the Soil Association. These certifications cover not only ecological farming but also social principles like a ban on child labour, equality, and fair working conditions.
Why we add elastane
We add 5% elastane so our tees keep their shape and length. That makes them flexible, comfortable, and quick to return to their original silhouette.
