We care

Mimi & Bowe is not only dedicated to making super cosy loungewear your kids love, we also care deeply about our planet and the people on it. In this regard, we have ensured that all of our garments are made with 100% GOTS certified organic cotton.

What does GOTS Certified mean?

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the strictest certification for organic materials on the market today. It involves rigid controls of chemical use and fair working conditions, throughout the entire manufacturing process. This includes the processing, manufacturing, packaging, trading and distribution of all textiles. Make sure to look for this certification when looking for garments made in organic cotton. You are investing in water conservation, better soil, cleaner air and farmers living standards.

Why is organic cotton so important?

Organic cotton farming does not allow the use of toxic chemicals or GMOs (Genetically modified organisms) and supports the health of soil, ecosystems and people by using natural processes instead of artificial inputs. This benefits the environment and promotes a better quality of life for everyone involved.

It takes 2,700 litres of water to make one t-shirt from conventional cotton. That’s enough to sustain one person for 900 days.

The growing of organic cotton uses 88% less water than conventional cotton, in fact organic cotton is 80% rain fed which reduces pressure on local resources. And since chemicals are not allowed, the water is cleaner and safer.

Another major benefit of growing organic cotton is that farmers and their families are not exposed to toxic chemicals in the fields or through their food and water supply. And since the water and soil is clean, they are able to grow more than one crop which in turn supplements their food and income.
