Clothing comfort
The black fabric feels soft on the skin and the appararel made from it is warm and comfortable. Cotton is relatively flexible and can absorb up to 20% of water without feeling wet. Organic cotton fabrics are produced eco-friendly and are also skin-friendly. This includes the dyeing of the fabric, only eco-friendly and skin friendly dyes are permitted in the GOTS standard.
Origin of the material
The organic cotton was grown in the Turkish districts near the Aegean Sea (so called Aegean cotton). The cotton was also processed there. Turkey has a large cotton industry and the cotton was spun and knitted there in GOTS-certified factories, thus limiting the carbon footprint. Aegean cotton is famous for it's beautiful colour, long fiber length, excellent spinnability and high quality.
