MATERIAL FOR COLORS Ivory, Black, Lunisolar Light, Lunisolar Gray:
100% Organic Cotton, GOTS certified
The organic cotton is grown in Benin, Tanzania and India. The fabric is designed in Paris, France. Spinning, weaving, dyeing and washing of the fabric is done in La Loire, France. The fabric is GOTS certified, which means it includes strict environmental and social criteria for operations along the entire supply chain.
MATERIAL FOR COLORS Light Sage, Hazelnut, Charcoal:
100% Organic Cotton
The fabric is handmade from GOTS certified yarn by an artisan family in Kerala, India. The yarns are dyed by hand and the weaving is done by hand on small powerlooms. The fabric is made in small batches so it is tricky to get the GOTS certification and it would require them working on a larger scale to get the end product GOTS certified.
As a handmade fabric there is special character to the fabric. The surface being lively and not always regular is a part of the look. Because the yarns are hand dyed the shade might vary a little from batch to batch.
MATERIAL FOR COLORS Seashell, Sand, Jetstone:
100% Organic Linen, GOTS certified
The flax plant is grown in Normandy, France. The fabric is made in Germany; the linen is spun, knitted then dyed (except for the natural linen jersey "Sand" which is undyed) in the same factory. The fabric is GOTS certified, which means it includes strict environmental and social criteria for operations along the entire supply chain.
The color of the raw linen fiber will vary from season to another depending on the amount of sun, rain etc. when growing the crop. Due to these natural factors the shade might vary a little from batch to batch, especially with the raw undyed linen “Sand”.
Use a flexible measuring tape, make sure it lays straight on the body and take the measurements of your bust, waist and hips.
The garment is machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle in cool water. Hang to dry, do not tumble dry. Press on medium heat with steam to remove wrinkles.
Because this is a natural material, slight shrinkage will occur, which is taken into consideration when making the pattern and sizing.
