Gabardine Cotton Fabric - Light Green

Sew Eco Stamp 2

From suppliers who are focussed on creating textiles through sustainable production practices and building economically and ethically strong communities.

These fabrics go further that certifications, and we consider them part of our sustainable collection. It's important to remember sustainability is a journey, not a destination.

Fabrics will be:

• Made with environmentally-friendly natural fibres

• Hold textile certifications (for small communities who cannot afford certifications, supplier transparency will is considered in place of certifications)

• Responsible suppliers who work closely with production/weaving communities, who maintain and audit the quality of textile production and working standards.

• Implement sustainable practices throughout the supply chain from seed to shop.

Don't let the Stamp 2 fool you. The fabrics within this eco-stamp are a part of our sustainable collection and for good reason. These are quality and natural fibred textiles that have been produced under strong values and ethos that care about community and planet. Sometimes the path there just looks a little different. 

Fabrics in this stamp, may hold certifications like STeP by OEKO-TEX, meaning that they are strictly audited around 6 core components throughout the production of the textile. This is to ensure implementation of ethical and sustainable production practices is meeting the criteria for an achieved STeP certification. 

STeP is a stepping stone away from MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX. Which is the best certification available, through long-term commitment of maintaining a STeP certification. It is only when full traceability and transparency can be audited the supplier/fabric can be certified with MADE IN GREEN (a stamp 1 certification in our eyes). 

These things take time, textiles that are certified with STeP means the supplier is already on the journey to true sustainability.
