Why organic cotton?
Read how organic cotton (and other) farming is actually helping farmers:

Why not plastics?
Why not AZO dyes?
The organic cotton string bags, hankies and gift bags sold on this site are either un-dyed (in natural grown cotton colours) or dyed only with non-AZO dyes. When placed alongside non-organic fabrics and wrapping paper, these items might appear dull, but there are good reasons for this.
Azo dyes could be banned from skin contact
While our own exposure to AZO dyes on our clothes and accessories might not have long-term harmful effects (but who knows?), workers who are forced to use these dyes in factories are not always so well protected. We hope that our rejection of AZO-dyes will contribute towards worker welfare in the long run.
