Gifts To Our Children's Future: Organic Cotton And Oeko-Tex

We’re always working toward earth-friendly fabrics for children and families – look for products labeled “organic cotton” and “Oeko-Tex certified.” Organic cotton is good for so many people, from workers in the fields to kids and families who wear it next to their skin. Many hannas are made from organic cotton that’s grown without harmful chemicals, including our long johns, baby sleepers, baby basics, unders, turtlenecks, polo shirts and boxy tees. We are passionate about giving this gift to our children's future, and since 2002 we've made nearly five million hannas from organically grown cotton! What's more, our organic products and many others are also certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100. What's that?

Oeko-Tex (which sounds like echo-tex) is a European ecological certification process that tests garments for over 100 harmful substances. In order for a garment to be certified, every fabric, button, thread and zipper is tested for over 100 potentially harmful substances, and the result is especially easy on children's skin. Nearly 60% of all our clothes are certified, and we're working on more all the time. With organic cotton and Oeko-Tex, hannas are as pure as we can make them for families!
