The ‘abstract shapes’ organic cotton velvet jumper has split sides, dropped shoulders & long sleeves. With an oversized fit, it is comfy & easy to throw on. The abstract shapes & vibrant colours are really playful & make a statement with any outfit. The velvet is really soft & has a nice stretch to it. Made from 100% organic cotton, it is breathable, insulating & does not irritate the skin. Moreover, cotton is long-lasting & is easy to maintain (it does not pill, can be machine washed & it does not hold on to bad smells). We hand make each top in our workshop in Nottingham, England. Each item is made-to-order, minimising fabric wastage. MATERIAL We make our velvet jumper from 100% Organic Cotton. SUSTAINABLE Organic cotton is more sustainable than regular cotton because the process is based on long-term thinking. Organic cotton farming does not use synthetic insecticides, fungicides or fertilisers. Healthy soil is instead maintained through crop rotation. This prevents the loss of nutrients into water bodies & avoids both water pollution & 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 OEKO-TEx standard 100 certified. We also package the product in recycled paper. A great resource on sustainable fashion is the Fashion Revolution. This resources includes information on what to consider when choosing where & what to buy. For example, which fabrics should you look for & which brands are making efforts to make their supply chains more transparent & ethical.
