"Certified Organic" means the cotton has been grown according to strict uniform standards that are verified by independent state or private organizations. Certification includes inspections of farm fields and processing facilities, detailed record keeping, and periodic testing of soil and water to ensure that growers and handlers are meeting the standards which have been set. Certification of organic cotton production adds credibility to the final product assures the buyer of the organic status of the product and encourages payment of premium prices to farmers who engage in organic practices.

Although the products of Natur-elle are mainly made of certified organic cotton fabrics, not always the GOTS-label is attached. The main reason is that not all our sewing ateliers are GOTS certified yet. Our 'Colore' collection (baby cloths and bed sheets) contains the GOTS-label. All our other products are provided with our own label, which indicates that the product is made from organic cotton fabrics and produced in Europe.
