Organic Cotton

Hi, I looking for an organisation growing and producing organic cotton, which I can work with. I would like small quantities to print on, with the hope to expand production once the project takes off. Can anyone recommend an ethical producer of Organic cotton?
Thanks so much,
Holly

Hi Holly,

I am a Source and Fellowship 500 member. Can help you with small minimum sourcing of organic cotton from ethical producers. Please let me know what kinds of fabrics you are looking for.

Thanks,

Barkha

Hi Barkha. I understand that you are located in Atlanta, right? I have been looking for organic knit (cotton and cotton/spandex) and woven (100% organic cotton; voile, percale, batiste for dresses, blouses etc.) Do you only work with imported qualities or also made in USA?

Hi Barkha,

Thank you so much for getting back to me, and that is great news you can help.

I am looking for light weight woven cotton? Ideally I would like to source the right quality, so I can digitally print onto the cloth, and cut them up and sell as scarves?

Let me know if you have any qualities that would suit this purpose?

I look forward to hearing from you,

Many thanks,

Holly

Hi Holly,

In that case, I would suggest a light weight voile, or even modal or Tencel blended fabrics.

If you need any digital printing done, I work with numerous fiber reactive print houses in India as well that do great printing. I get digital printing done for numerous fashion designers in NY and other places.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Thanks,

Barkha

Hi Bente,

Thanks for your reply.

I am based in London, how about you? What are you using the cotton for?

Thanks,

Holly

Hi again Holly. I am located in Texas, US but from Europe. I suggest you also visit the GOTS home page as they have a list of GOTS certified suppliers around the world. They are very helpful too! Also since I were in here I have got an account (free initially) on http://www.source4style.com where they have organic fabric from all over the world. Hope you can find something there!

I am making tops and dresses for tween girls. You can see the style I work with on my web page: www.froskwera.com.

Hi Bente,

I checked out your site. I can source the fabrics for you including handle all custom dyeing and printing if you need.

Should we set up a phone call for early next week?

I am traveling through Sunday.

Thanks,

Barkha
