Origin of the material
The organic cotton was grown in the Aegean districts of Turkey (so called Aegean cotton). This cotton is known for its long fiber length, high spinnability, softness and beautiful colour. The cotton was processed in Turkey and transported to us by truck.
Ecology
Organic cotton is grown without the use of chemical pesticides or herbicides and without chemical fertilizers. Extra care is given to good water management, organic fertilization and crop rotation, thus keeping the soil healthy. GMO is not allowed in organic agriculture.
