WHAT YOU BUY MATTERS.

WHAT YOU BUY MATTERS. Only 1 % of the cotton grown in the world is organic. The story behind conventional cotton is not as fluffy and soft as one could wish. The use of pesticides and unfair working conditions are reasons why we all should think twice when buying conventionally produced cotton. Organic cotton does not allow the use of toxic chemicals or GMOs - genetically modified organisms. Instead, it combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote a good quality of life for all involved. But what you should be aware of is that when you buy a product labelled as organic cotton the rest of the production chain - such as dyeing, printing, coatings etc. might still be conventional. All organic cotton garments from Mini Rodini are certified from seed to finished product by GOTS-– the strictest certification for organic materials on the market today, which involves rigid controls throughout the entire manufacturing process - including the use of harmful chemicals as well as fair working conditions.

WHY CHILDREN SHOULD WEAR ORGANIC COTTON CLOTHING

by BARN OF MONKEYS

When we’re choosing clothing for our kids, we tend to pick the softest materials, the cutest prints and most comfortable designs, and we should! Our sons and daughters deserve only the best. But there are other things you should be looking for in your kids clothing.

Did you know that some dyeing processes add chemicals to the textiles that can be absorbed into your body through your skin? A study conducted by Greenpeace states that over 20 brands had hazardous chemicals in their finished products for adults and kids – who are more vulnerable to the effects of these chemicals.

So why should you prefer dressing your kids in organic cotton clothing?

Organic cotton clothing is better for sensitive skin such as children’s as well as for those ,with allergies. Organic cotton farmers use only organic-approved fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides from plants, animals and minerals to prevent pests and diseases. This reduces the risk for your health while also protecting farmworkers and reducing environmental pollution.

But the origin of the cotton is not all that matters. For example, at Barn of Monkeys they take great pride in being GOTS certified (Global Organic Textil Standard), the leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.

This means that from the moment that the cotton is picked up, they guarantee that the production of the fiber, processing and manufacturing of the clothes is done so within the GOTS standards!

And do you know what that leaves you with? A piece of clothing that is even softer than the common cotton clothing yet more durable which means that your clothes will look better for longer!

GOTS – A SEAL YOU CAN TRUST

by BARN OF MONKEYS

GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard and is the world’s leading processing standard for textiles. It is managed by the Global Organic Textile Standard International Working Group, a nonprofit organization supported by the US government.

The goal is to certify finished textile products made of organic raw materials using eco-friendly manufacturing techniques. It works as a trust seal that gives credibility to textile industries and companies that provide manufacturing services to fashion brands.

At Barn of Monkeys, they give the utmost importance to sustainability and the preservation of the environment. More than that, they want to assure the garments they provide are produced with the highest quality standards and at considerable lower risk to Mother Nature.

THINK BEYOND AW18 is so much more than a story told through clothes. It is a statement to be worn, a message we want to pass to the younger generations, an appeal to everyone who wants to make the world a better place and look majorly cool while doing it!
