Organic cotton
Our BIO collection is made from 100% organic cotton.
100% organic cotton is grown from non-genetically modified (GMO) seeds, without the use of agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides.
Growing organic cotton considerably reduces environmental impact. It uses much less water than conventional crops.
Organic cotton growing
The process of growing organic cotton is made possible by the introduction of beneficial insects.
Organic cotton growing techniques are also characterized by the manual elimination of weeds and the use of 100% natural fertilizers, replacing insecticides and herbicides.
Growing organic cotton minimizes water consumption thanks to a crop rotation technique that makes the soil much more fertile. This increased fertility greatly reduces the need for water.
Textile production
The manufacture of an organic bed linen collection implies a commitment to the entire production chain: from the preparation of the yarns for weaving, through the bleaching of the cotton, to the dyeing and printing processes.
