How to choose sustainable organic clothing?
I - How to recognize if a garment is of quality?
Product quality
When you want to buy sustainable and ethical clothing, it is essential to be interested in the quality of this product. A quality ethical garment has a carbon and social footprint that is significantly reduced compared to a traditional textile. Its quality will allow for greater durability over time and to wear that t-shirt, hoodie or zipped sweater that you love so much!
To recognize a quality garment, first of all, look at the fabric! Is it soft or rather rough to the touch? Is it pleasant to wear? Does it have a chemical smell?
Then look at the seams of this textile to assess its level of durability and therefore quality. If the seams are bunched up or if threads are escaping, this is not a good sign!
Its composition
The composition of your product is essential to define its level of quality and environmental awareness. Conventional cotton, viscose and modal are the three materials with the greatest impact on the planet, while organic linen, recycled polyester, organic hemp and organic cotton are the materials to favor when selecting your sustainable textiles.
We offer you a wide range of clothing made of organic cotton and recycled polyester. Communicating with ethical and labeled clothing will allow you to be in line with your environmental and social values. Organic or labeled clothing is respectful of the environment and human health.
Organic cotton farming does not use toxic products and does not deplete the soil. It also uses less energy and water. This therefore makes it possible to obtain a textile that pollutes very little, and is healthier for the planet in the long term.
You can also choose recycled synthetic materials such as recycled polyester. Indeed, petroleum-based products, such as polyester, take a very long time to degrade in nature. You should therefore avoid throwing them away, and try to extend their lifespan as much as possible: this is what recycled polyester allows!
II - Labels as a guarantee of quality
Since the launch of Stay With Me in 2022, we have been doing everything we can to meet your needs in a sustainable way, as responsibly as possible.
