- Cotton is a natural seed fiber.
-
It is durable, breathable, absorbent, and soft. Cotton is ideal for dyeing and printing. The material is also biodegradable and hypoallergenic.
- Nearly all cotton is grown in rotation, but conventional cotton generally has a higher environmental impact.
- Baserange sources organic cotton, as we want to ensure that no harmful chemicals are used in the production process, water consumption is controlled, water is not contaminated and workers' rights are also preserved.
- Organic agriculture uses agronomic, biological, and mechanical techniques instead of synthetic chemicals.
- Organic cotton supports good soil health and ecosystems and is not harmful to human health or the environment. No pesticides or fertilizers are used. Most of the organic cotton we use is also rain-fed and doesn’t require much irrigation.
Care
We recommend a cold wash on a gentle cycle using natural detergent and hang drying. Hand washing is always a good option too. If you are not separating delicates, use a laundry bag to protect the fabric from getting damaged.
To reduce washes, we recommend airing or freezing your garments and spot cleaning whenever you have a stain. Airing helps in getting rid of the odour and you can do this by leaving your clothing outside overnight. Freezing gets rid of smell, mildew, and moths and is effective when done for 6-12 hours.
