The cotton and linen fabrics are GOTS certified. What does this certificate mean exactly? The product must contain at least 95% certified organic raw materials. With the GOTS certificate you know immediately that harmful chemicals are prohibited, also all the textiles are dyed environmentally friendly. The end product must not contain residues of pesticides or heavy metals such as lead or cadmium. Genetically modified organisms may not be used either.
Organic cotton fibers, organic wool,… C. Pauli has it all! The jeans fabric, sweat fabric and voile are also made from 100% organic cotton. So you can start making your own pants, dresses or t‑shirts. To finish off your skirts, hair accessories or dresses you can use beautiful organic tulle fabric, available in pastel colors. The flannel also consists of 100% organic cotton and is perfect for pajamas, bedding, pillows or curtains to make yourself. In turn, the organic woven terry cloth is ideal for towels and bathrobes.
C. Pauli also has a jersey fabric made of 92% organic cotton with 8% elastane. This fabric is perfect for making your own leggings. For certain products such as underwear, leggings, pant stockings or socks, the GOTS standard accepts a small percentage of synthetic fibers including 8% elastane to enhance stretchability and wearing comfort.
For finishing the clothes, C. Pauli also has an assortment of ribbons, lace and straps. All the lace is made from 100% organic cotton. For children’s clothing you can buy straps printed with flowers, animals or trains. These colorful straps consist of 90% regular cotton and 10% polyester to increase stretchability. At COSH, we do prefer organic cotton over regular cotton because no harmful substances are used here. However, the straps are the only ones in the entire C. Pauli assortment that contain regular cotton.
