Working with nature, not against it
Regenerative cotton is a type of cotton grown using principles and practices of regenerative agriculture, which aims to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and create a closed-loop system.
The benefits include improved soil health and biodiversity, increased water retention, and less dependence on synthetic chemicals and pesticides.
Regenerative farming has economic and social benefits for artisan communities, creating jobs, helping to reduce poverty, and ensuring less dependence on external support. Increasing consumer demand means that regenerative farming is becoming more and more popular among farmers and textile producers which is fantastic news for the environment and for conscious designers and consumers.
Indigenous cotton: less water, less waste
One of the fabulous regenerative cotton products we can source is Indigenous cotton. This fabric traces back to farms in rural Gujarat, where local artisans produce an indigenous variety of cotton that’ s rain-fed and grown organically without chemicals and fertilizers.
Not only does this fabulous fabric support local communities, it uses very little water compared to other types of cotton, so it helps to regenerate soil and water. And because it grows in balance with the local ecosystem, it improves biodiversity and reduces waste.
We’re thrilled to be able to bring you cotton fabrics that are truly ethical and sustainable in every sense of the word. By choosing regenerative cotton, you’ re helping to regenerate soil, ecosystems, livelihoods, economies, and our planet.
