Lucy & Yak new 100% Organic Cotton Original Dungarees.

We never stop…. Literally we are always looking for ways to improve what we are doing for you and everyone involved! We have been working hard for months to source the perfect corduroy for our new Dungas! And we found it! This super soft Organic corduroy, is sustainable and Ethically made! What more could you want? Oh Comfort of course, yeah we got that covered too! Available in a Rainbow of colours! Perfect for you fun, life loving people out there! And if you like to keep it more conservative we got that covered too with our gorgeous Sailor Blue or Black. We have sourced GOTS Certified Organic cotton and used GOTS approved dyes.  What is the difference between Organic and Non-Organic….. Organic means that the cotton hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals, which means that the farmer and his family haven’t had to inhale these chemicals whilst growing the cotton, and also it is harmless to the animals that naturally live near the farm. Pesticides are harmful for everyone involved. They damage the water and the soil, meaning that in years to come the soil on that part of the land won’t be any good for growing plants. Organic certifying bodies also make sure the working standards are up to scratch for the employees of Organic certified companies, meaning we can honestly say that we know everyone involved from the farm to the factory is looked after and gets what they deserve.

Organic cotton does come with a slightly higher price tag. Due to various reasons. Organic farms are typically smaller than conventional ones, but they also, on average, take more time to produce crops because they refrain from using the chemicals and growth hormones used by conventional farmers. There is much less Organic cotton on the market than conventional so this can also increase the price. If we bought Organic more than conventional the price would come down. We have the buying power.

We would love to make the switch over to completely Organic and hope that we can in the near future. With your help I’m sure its possible! Let’s make the world a better place together!

Love

Lucy & Chris
