What is GOTS?
GOTS, or the Global Organic Textile Standard, is a leading global standard for organic fibers, encompassing both ecological and social criteria. When you see the GOTS label on a product, it signifies that the item has met rigorous standards throughout its production process, from raw material sourcing to the finished product.
