COTTON

Cotton is a material we use in many of our garments. It is both renewable and naturally biodegradable. Cotton has been one of the main fibres used in textile manufacturing for thousands of years and has many benefits. It is soft, durable, breathable and has cooling properties by absorbing moisture. Cotton is also good for sensitive skin as it is non-allergenic.

ORGANIC COTTON – LESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT


At Holebrook, we set high standards for sustainability, quality and environmental impact when choosing yarn and materials. That is why we choose organic cotton instead of conventional cotton whenever possible. Here are the reasons:

  • Organic cotton means that it is grown and manufactured completely without chemical pesticides, artificial fertilizers or genetically modified seeds (GMOs) that affect biodiversity.

  • For the cotton to be classified as organic, the soil it has been grown on must also have been free of chemicals for at least three years and crop rotation must be applied. This means a more complicated cultivation process that promotes biodiversity, but also makes organic cotton more expensive than non-organic cotton.

  • Organic cotton is known and loved for its beneficial properties: it is hypoallergenic and breathable. It is also durable, which means that the garments have a long lifespan.

GOTS – GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD


Almost all the cotton yarns we use are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified. This is an international label for organic textiles. The GOTS label requires that at least 70% of the fibres are organically grown and that the textiles meet environmental and health requirements throughout the production process.

OUR COTTON GARMENTS


We use cotton yarn to knit garments with exciting textures and patterns. We can also dye the yarn in a fully organic process to match other materials in our collections.

About Holebrook Sweden


Holebrook is a Swedish brand with a focus on knitted clothing. We were born on the Swedish west coast and our first collection was knitted sweaters with a windproof elastic lining. Today, more than twenty years later, they are still part of our collection. Sustainability is part of our DNA, it’s reflected in our business model and in our brand strategy. Our down-to-earth approach to sustainability is based on wool, cotton, mohair and alpaca. Natural materials that do not need to be washed as often, which prolongs the life of the garments and reduces their impact on the environment. Our clothes are timeless and made for the seasons, not the trends. All our clothes are made in Europe by suppliers who share our strive and commitment to quality and sustainability.
