The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was developed by leading standards producers to define globally recognized requirements for organic textiles. From raw material harvesting, environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing, to labelling, GOTS certified textiles offer a credible consumer guarantee.

The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) was originally developed by Control Union Certifications in 2008, and ownership was transferred to Textile Exchange on January 1, 2011. GRS is an international, voluntary standard, entirely dedicated to products that defines the requirements for outsourced certification of recycled material, chain of custody, social and environmental practices and chemical restrictions.

If a textile article bears the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label, it is certain that all components of this article, that is, all threads, buttons and other accessories, have been tested for the presence of harmful substances and that it is harmless in human ecological terms.
