Ethos

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes in the textile industry that we do not know enough about. We do not see it enough. We do not hear about it enough. And as a result an unfortunate hidden cycle continues with most people simply unaware of the truth.

 

We firmly believe that with knowledge and awareness of what is actually going on in the textile industry and knowing the negative impacts on the Earth and Humanity, people will feel empowered in their choices to help create a positive change.

 

Knowing people's stories, seeing the impacts first hand across so many agricultural zones and realising how much cotton is in our lives and homes, we decided to do something about it - offer Certified Organic Bedding & Basics that is ethically and sustainably made from seed to shelf.
