What does organic actually mean? A common belief is that natural fibres are organic in and of themselves, but not all have been produced organically. All our raw materials – silk, wool, silkwool, and cotton – are Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified, which ensures that they are eco- friendly and ethical. Organic production considers the well-being of animals, soil, and people from raw material production to end products. Attention is paid to the fertility of the soil and only natural fertilizers are allowed. No finishing agents are used in the Ruskovilla clothing produced from organic materials. This means that they are okay to wear immediately. There are specific criteria for the workers’ right of association, pay, and occupational safety – the use of child labour is absolutely prohibited. At the end of their useful life, natural fibres will decompose and return to the natural cycle.
