Organic Cotton
The mainstream method of cultivating cotton has a major impact on the environment. However, there is huge potential for improving the situation, and choosing organically grown cotton is one way of making a difference.
In order for cotton to be organically certified, the fields where it is farmed must be totally free from pesticides for a period of three years. At the denim producer, the spinning, dyeing and finishing of the yarn for our organic jeans is carried out in accordance with organic procedures.
When it comes to Nudie Jeans, organic cotton is not just a seasonal fashion trend.
For the present season, spring/summer 2012, 43% of the produced garments are made of organic cotton.
We have higher aims than that – our long-term goal is to use exclusively organic cotton.
GOTS
The majority of the organic denim used by Nudie Jeans is certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).
The aim of the GOTS standards is to define requirements that are world-wide recognised. This is to certify the authenticity of organic textiles and to give a credible assurance to the end consumer.
Our dry organic jeans are GOTS certified through our suppilers. This means that the whole production chain, from cotton to a pair of jeans, is certified.
TEXTILE EXCHANGE
Nudie Jeans is a member of Textile Exchange (formerly The Organic Exchange), which is a non-profit organisation that supports the farming and trading of organically grown cotton.
