Eco-clothing - what's it all about?

I'm often asked about eco-clothing and what the different kinds of "eco-clothing" really mean so I thought I'd do a quick blog to explain some of the more common descriptions:

Organic cotton - this is cotton grown without pesticides and chemicals. I've blogged about the meaning here: organic cotton. If you are buying organic cotton you need to check that it is certified organic to Global Organic Textiles Standards through one of the organisations who are able to certify organic standards - Arabella Miller clothing is certified by the UK Soil Association. Certification gives you peace of mind that your eco-clothing is organic.

Fairtrade - Fairtrade certification (Fairtrade or Fair Trade Certified in the US) is a product certification system designed to allow people to identify products that meet agreed environmental, labour and developmental standards. Overseen by a standard-setting body, FLO International, and a certification body, FLO-CERT.
