WHAT IS A GOTS CERTIFICATE?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is an international organization that is dedicated to carrying out audits in those factories that request them. Their function is to confirm that the products they make meet all the ecology and social responsibility requirements that this entity requires.

The "Fair Trade" logo, on the other hand, indicates that all processes are regulated, and that working conditions and all workers' rights are respected.
HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY ORGANIC CLOTHES?
Maximum washing temperature is 30ºC, and it is recommended to wash with cold water. We also recommend using biodegradable ecological soap for both machine washing and hand washing, this way you avoid water contamination. Small daily gestures are important! It is also recommended to iron inside out. Do not bleach or dry clean.
HOW DO YOU PRINT MY ORGANIC CLOTHES?
To obtain the prints on these garments while taking care of the planet and our own skin, we use low-impact water-based dyes that are certified by GOTS. This means that in the dyeing and printing process, no azo dyes, formaldehydes or heavy metals have been applied to the garments. Most water has also been reused after being purified.
ARE THESE GARMENTS HANDMADE?
Mostly yes, the items that we make in our own factory are all handcrafted, and those made in partner workshops are handmade as well. The printing process can sometimes be screen printed or printed by hand, so there might be details of a print which may have slight variations from one piece to another. Some other prints are made with rotary stamping machines.
