I offer you an eco-certified organic and ethical cotton voile:
- 100% organic cotton
- GOTS yarn, GOTS weaving made in Portugal
- GOTS printing made in France
- Between 75 and 80 gr/m2
- 140cm wide
- Soft and slightly silky
- For the lighter patterns, you'll get a nice sheen, so you'll need a lining for dresses, skirts or pants if you're a little modest.
- It's not a flowing fabric, it's got hold, much like a cotton poplin.
❤️ With my fabrics, you can sew for adults, children and babies:
- light tops (blouses, shirts...)
- pareos
- long or medium shirts
- summer scarves
- light dresses
- light skirts
- lightweight pants or shorts
- bloomers for your little ones.
The printing line is a little jewel in terms of respect for the environment.
In fact, unlike the most common printing technique, "fixé-lavé", the process used to produce my cotton veils is very economical in terms of water consumption! Only 6L of water are needed for my entire collection.
That's very little indeed!!!!
Wash your fabric with an eco-friendly detergent at 30-40°C maximum. You can add an ecological fabric softener to your detergent. No dryer!!!!
For the darker colors, you may find that the fabric is a little stiffer than the lighter colors, but don't panic! After washing and ironing, everything will be back to normal!
The inks are GOTS-certified and therefore totally eco-friendly, perfect for the sensitive skins of children and babies.
For those of you not yet familiar with the GOTS label, here's a quick explanation:
- This certification gives you the best guarantees on the market.
- The fabric contains a minimum of 95% organic cotton (in the case of this cotton voile).
- The products used to treat the fabric at all stages of production are free from products that are harmful to humans and nature.
- Workers at all stages of production are paid decently. Their rights and physical integrity are respected.
- Quality control is rigorous.
