The Story

Organic cotton

 

Fast fashion may seem like the solution to all of our fashion needs, but it's actually the root of some major environmental problems. From the production of synthetic fabrics that could outlast our great-great-grandchildren to the overuse of natural resources like water and land, the fast fashion industry is like a wrecking ball to the environment. It's kind of like that ex who won't stop texting you, except instead of emotional baggage, fast fashion is leaving us with literal landfills full of non-biodegradable clothing. If we don't take a closer look at the materials used in fast fashion and the impact they're having on the planet, we might just end up with a fashion industry that's more toxic than your ex's personality.

agood company is not just another pretty face in the fashion world - we're also a force for good in the fight against environmental destruction. By using organic cotton from a factory which is the first certified organic textile company of turkiye in our clothing line, we're taking a stand against the conventional cotton industry, which is basically the bully of the farming world. We're saying no to soil degradation, water pollution, and the loss of biodiversity, and yes to sustainable agriculture practices, natural resource conservation, and reducing the use of harmful chemicals.

Plus, our clothing line supports circular fashion where you can send your clothes back at the end of their cycle and we will give it a new life. So, if you want to look good and feel good about what you're wearing, choose our organic cotton clothing line - it's fashion with a conscience, and that's always in style.

How we found it?

As a company, we believe that fashion and sustainability can coexist, and that's why we've been on a mission to find the best textile manufacturer that not only creates high-quality products but also adheres to strict environmental and ethical standards. We searched high and low, and finally, we found the perfect partner in The factory, the first certified organic textile company in Türkiye.

The Factory is not your average textile company. They're committed to promoting sustainable agricultural practices from 1900 and using organic cotton that's grown in the Izmir region of Western Türkiye, which happens to be one of the best quality cottons in the world. And it's not just the cotton that's organic - all of their processes, from fiber to finished garments, follow the Sustainable Textile Standards of GOTS. That's right, they're so committed to sustainability that they even have certifications to prove it!

But it's not just about the environment - The factory also cares about the people involved in their production process. They work with contracted farmers who are dedicated to organic agriculture, and they ensure that all practices are in accordance with the European Union Regulation (EEC) No. 2092/91 on production of agricultural products. By doing so, they're promoting fair and ethical treatment of farmers and workers.

We're proud to partner with this factory because we know that their commitment to sustainability and ethics aligns with our values. By using their organic cotton in our clothing line, we are helping to promote sustainable agriculture practices and conserve natural resources. And let's not forget about the quality - the cotton is seriously some of the best we've ever seen.

As the first certified organic textile company in Turkey, the factory sets the bar high for sustainable and ethical manufacturing practices.

This made them one of the first companies in Turkey to use solar power as a way of reducing their carbon footprint. The factory continues to prioritize sustainability in its operations, and this commitment can be seen in every step of the manufacturing process, from the use of organic cotton to the installation of solar panels.

The factory's dedication to sustainability and ethical manufacturing practices has earned them recognition in the textile industry, and they continue to inspire other companies to follow in their footsteps.
