Through this fair trade we support small cotton production places and a bookmaking manufacturer in Hebron who produces our hand made Vegan Boots.
GOTS The Global Organic Textile Standard is a cooperation work between reputed standard organisations: So far the International Association Natural Textile Industry (IVN), Soil Association, Organic Trade Association (OTA) and Japan Organic Cotton Association (Joca) have already decided to adopt the GOTS from 1st October 2006 onwards. The GOTS is a comprehensive standard that allows companies to ensure that their organic fiber products are produced to very strict criteria relating to quality, tracking, and social and environmental considerations.
