#BehindTheSeams
This month, we're part of GOTS' (Global Organic Textile Standard) world-wide #BehindTheSeams campaign.
Global Standards, the non-profit behind GOTS, launches this campaign every September to introduce you to brands that produce GOTS-certified textiles and to give you insight into what the certification actually entails. Inviting you to look beyond the claim. GOTS-certified textiles meet strict requirements verified through third-party certification.
We want to show you what’s really behind the seams of King Louie's GOTS-certified textiles - from processing requirements and chemical management to social criteria and independent third-party certification.
Because it’s way more than just a label!
Depth of our commitment
We are GOTS Certified [CU 851623]. This means we follow a holistic approach to social and environmental responsibility covering a range of organic, natural fibres through every processing step until our final product.
We have proudly been GOTS-certified since 2015 and we genuinely see it as the highest standard in responsible textile production. For more than a decade, organisations like GOTS have helped us to do better.
GOTS
GOTS is one of the strictest textile certifications in the world: the standard covers the entire supply chain, from organic fibres to finished garments, and sets clear requirements regarding chemical inputs, water pollution, fair working conditions and traceability.
When you purchase a GOTS-certified product from us, you can trust it meets the following requirements:
Made from natural fibres, grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or herbicides.
All our processors, manufacturers and traders meet the GOTS Human Rights and Social Criteria
No allergenic, carcinogenic or other harmful chemicals. This protects the health of workers, the environment and the end consumer (you!).
Full traceability from raw material through all processing stages, every company that is part of the process is certified.
To preserve integrity, on-site inspection and certification is done by independent third parties.
Stringent requirements for the use of chemical additives (dyes and finishes) concerning their toxicity and biodegradability.
An investment that's worth it
As you know, we love making timeless items with a long lifespan. We take our time to design the perfect fit and find the right fabric quality.
When you purchase a King Louie piece that is GOTS-certified, you are making an investment. We believe sustainable fashion can be colorful, creative and a crucial part of everyday life.
