100% organic cotton
"
For six years, Kiwi Industries has been passionate about social and environmental awareness. This means using socially responsible labor (living wage, sweatshop free). All of our production is in the USA and in a small knitting cooperative in South America. Our 100% organic cotton knitwear is woven and made in the USA. We also believe in a sustainable environment. We have been producing organic clothing for six years now as part of our collection. Our soon to be released Fall '09 collection is 100% organic. We print on recycled paper whenever we can, we offer reusable packaging when possible, and we try our hardest not to waste our resources.

Organic practices have a lower carbon footprint as the entire process consumes less fuel and energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases. Eco-friendly processing does not compromise workers' health, helps reduce water and electric use and toxic runoff. Strict testing ensures the absence of contaminants like nickel, lead, formaldehyde, amines, pesticides and heavy metals. People with allergies and chemical sensitivity especially benefit from organic cotton clothing, as conventional cotton may retain harmful toxic residues. Even if you don't have sensitive skin, organic cotton will just feel better against your skin.
