We don’t just take someone’s word for it (or slap an “organic” label on and hope for the best). Every single organic product we make is backed by independent, third-party certifications that trace the material from farm to finished garment. Here’s exactly how we do it:

• GOTS certification (Global Organic Textile Standard)
  This is the gold standard we follow for all of our organic styles. GOTS certifies the entire supply chain:
  The cotton must be at least 95% certified organic fibers.
  No toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, GMO ingredients, or chlorine bleach allowed.
  Wastewater treatment, minimum wages, and no child labor are strictly audited.
  Annual on-site inspections of farms, spinning mills, weaving/knitting facilities, dye houses, and our cut-and-sew partners.
  
• Transaction Certificates (TCs)
  With every shipment of organic fabric or finished goods, we receive a signed Transaction Certificate from the certifier. This document proves that the specific batch we received matches the certified volume that left the previous supplier—no mixing with conventional cotton allowed.
• Scope Certificates
  Every factory and supplier in our chain has a current GOTS Scope Certificate issued after their annual audit. We check these before onboarding anyone and again each year.
• In-house testing
  We randomly send samples to accredited labs for pesticide residue testing (beyond what GOTS already requires) because we want to be 100% certain.
• Full supply-chain transparency
  If you ever want to see the certificates for the exact product you purchased, just contact our team with your order number—we’ll happily share the GOTS Transaction Certificate for that batch.

In short: no loopholes, no self-declared “organic,” no trust-me marketing. Independent auditors check the fields, the gins, the spinning mills, the dye houses, and our sewing partners every year. That’s how we know—and how you can know—the organic claim is real.
