Organic cotton
When we talk about organic materials, we are talking about materials that are designed with respect for the environment. For example, all pieces in Girl Crush's Modern War Attire collection are made from organic cotton.
According to the source Textile Exchange, through its agricultural process, organic cotton consumes 11 times less water than conventional cotton. In addition, no pesticides are used to cultivate it, which makes this material non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and non-polluting. By wearing clothes made of organic cotton, you are giving a gift to the environment but also to your health. Moreover, organic farming is based on a sustainable approach. Thus, the system is not dependent on non-renewable resources, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic cotton, however, costs 30% more than conventional cotton, as the processes involved require more labor and therefore time.
