Why choose
Ecodesign?
Our organic linen and organic hemp are
grown in northern China close to the Mongolian border in
fields that have been certified by the
Institute
for Marketecology (IMO) since 1997. In 2005 we began growing organic hemp
fiber. The harvested crop are lain on the field
throughout the winter for the natural retting process, and
the retted branches are processed into raw fiber nearby before being transported to the spinning mill.

We understand
the safety concerns involved with the use of fabric dyes,
and therefore only work with dye houses that have been
tested for harmful substances. We follow the
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and ensure no
harmful dyeing agents have been added during the
manufacturing process through lab tests conducted by the
SGS. Here are our Oeko-Tex Standard 100
certification and SGS Fabric Test Report, please click to
