Here is their statement on how their clothes are designed and sourced:
The following is a statement direct from the brand:
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is grown without the use of fertilizers, pesticides or any other toxic chemicals. The eco-conscious methods used in organic farming, support a sustainable environment, helping to maintain soil fertility resulting in 100% natural cotton, with no hidden nasties.
Viscose
The majority of our woven styles are made from viscose, a man-made fibre made from sustainable wood and bamboo pulp. Viscose is known as a 'semi-synthetic fibre' to reflect the combination of the natural raw materials and the chemical manufacturing process that turns the pulp into usable fibres.
