MATERIAL

• 98% Organic Cotton
• 2% Lycra

SUSTAINABLE

We make our tote bag from remnant pieces of organic cotton denim. Organic cotton is more sustainable that regular cotton because the process is based on long-term thinking. Organic cotton farming does not use synthetic insecticides, fungicides, herbicides or fertilisers. Healthy soil is maintained through crop rotation, preventing the loss of nutrients into water bodies, both preventing water pollution and the need for artificial fertilisers. Organic cotton farming also uses significantly less water than ordinary cotton, whereby farmers rely mainly on rainwater. Find out more about organic farming at the Textile Exchange!

The labels we use are made from recycled fabric that is also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. We package our products with recycled tissue paper and ship using reusable and compostable mailbags.

A great resource on sustainable fashion is the Fashion Revolution. They provide information on what to consider when choosing where and what to buy. We also strive to post informative content on sustainable matters on our Instagram account @fordandguy

WASH CARE

You can machine wash our denim tote bag at 30 degrees C. Drip dry and iron on medium heat. Do not bleach.

To waste less water, energy and to make your clothes last longer, wash at cooler temperatures, wash your clothes less often and don’t tumble dry.

SUSTAINABLE

Organic cotton is grown without the use of hazardous and costly pesticides and instead makes use of natural and less invasive techniques that work holistically, for the long-term benefit of people and the planet. These include pheromone traps, crop rotation, hand picking of bugs and natural repellents. They also do not rely on fossil-fuel based fertilisers but instead work to build healthy soil, e.g. through composting. By doing this, organic cotton emits up to 46% less greenhouse gas than non-organic.
Healthy soils also retain more water, meaning that many farmers can rely on rain water alone, saving precious water supplies for the local communities.
Organic farmers also grow food and keep animals, providing them with a stable source of food and diversified income. In addition to this, they receive more for their crop, the input costs are lower and the fabrics will be pesticide free!

We also package our products in recycled paper and both reusable and compostable mailbags.

We hand make our velvet organic scrunchies in our workshop in Nottingham, England. This velvet fabric is 100% organic cotton and is super soft. It therefore does not trap or break your hair. Moreover, the fabric has a luxurious feel and a rich colour in the light.
The elastic inside has a good stretch, allowing it to go round your hair multiple times but also hold firmly.
