The organic cotton fabric for our Gingham gift bags has been sourced with both the environment and worker welfare in mind.
The fabric is supplied by the Organic Textile Company, who have a personal relationship with their supplier in Kerala. Together they ensure that the fabric is fairly traded as well as organic.
The weavers in Kerala hand dye the cotton yarn using low impact dyes, before weaving it into gingham on small powerlooms. We hem the fabric squares with responsibly sourced organic cotton thread. This ensures that the wraps are 100% organic, apart from the cord stop which is metal.
All our packaging is plastic free and the bag tags are made from 100% recycled Kraft card. We send out parcels in 100% recycled card sleeves or boxes and only use eco-friendly paper tape. If a parcel needs padding, we use fabric offcuts or paper from parcels we ourselves have received.
Please note: if you do need to launder a gift bag, we recommend handwashing, air drying and ironing on a cotton setting. Avoid machine washing as the metal cord stop may damage the machine drum.
