Why Organic Cotton?

WHY CHOOSE CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON

Did you know that conventionally grown cotton uses more pesticides than any other crop in the entire world?

These toxic chemicals are harmful to not only farmers and workers but to us as consumers and entire wildlife eco-systems as well.

We believe that choosing certified organic cotton is socially, ethically & environmentally responsible and is the best choice for your health. Did we mention it’s beautifully soft & looks and feels good too?

Number Thirty One clothing proudly features only the best certified Organic Cotton (GOTS Global Organic Textile Standard and ACO Australian Certified Organic)

We keep production local and sustainable by manufacturing all clothing in Australia and our factory, is ACO & ECA (Ethical Clothing Australia) certified as well.

Our Merino Wool Cardigan is Woolmark certified.
