product care and info

We use a few different suppliers of underwear, so if you want to check a specific product, then please get in touch with us. In general, our underwear that has elastic waistbands do contain latex within the elastic. However, for most underwear the elastic is completely encased in the organic cotton fabric, so only the organic cotton touches your skin. Some of our underwear has eye holes where you can remove the elastic from them, and replace with a drawstring. We aim to make all this clear on our individual products but if you would like to check anything out in further detail, then please let us know.

Yes - Greenfibres is certified to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), and the certification process is carried out by the Soil Association. This means that all the products we have made just for us - including our towels, bed linen and mattresses are covered by our certification. It means that everyone in our supply chain is also GOTS certified, which covers environmental and ethical criteria. We also stock products that are made by other people that are also certified to GOTS or in the case of skincare, to COSMOS, and this is noted on all the products we stock. For some items, it’s not yet possible to gain certification, so we note this on the product info too.

Our organic duvets made from wool, silk or camel hair have the natural capacity to regenerate themselves, simply air them regularly, outside whenever possible, if not then over the banister or a door is fine too.

Because our bed linen is certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) you don't need to wash it before using it.

If you see darker marks on your bed linen, then please be assured this is also completely normal, and is not dirt on the fabric. This is what's known as ‘trash’. It is the tiny pieces of the organic cotton bolls, such as like leaves and twigs that are still attached to the cotton fibre when it is picked, and does not get fully filtered through in the ginning process.
