Our Philosophy
Why don't you do yourself and the mother earth a favor by using
organic items ?
Because,
we are killing our soil by supporting conventional agriculture,
we are contaminating the soil with one cup of ( approximately 100 gr) insecticides to grow the cotton that is needed to make one basic t-shirt, the toxic chemicals sprayed into the air is absorbed by the soil and the groundwaters,
we are destroying the natural life, the agricultural workers are prone to pesticide poisoning, vomiting, memory loss, lack of coordination and lung cancer,
the carbofuran used during the spraying causes the death of approximately 2 million birds annually (EPA),
these chemicals are affecting our health even if we ignore them, being exposed to pesticides might cause birth defects, reproductive disorders and weakened immune system, we do not consider in what way the products we buy are produced, and we ignore the damages to the environment caused during the production, However, our families' and our own health, the productivity of the mother earth is in our hands..
You can make a big difference with a small change...
My passion to the generosity of Mother Earth, commitment to my work and customers created
OrganicEra. I hope that you enjoy using our high quality 100 % organic certified products –which
are produced without any toxic materials harming the environment nor the farmers- as much as I
enjoyed using them.

Certification
GOTS ( Global Organic Textile Standard)
was developed through collaboration by leading standard setters with the aim of defining
requirements that are-recognized- world-wide and that ensure the organic status of textiles
from harvesting of the raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible
manufacturing all the way to labeling in order to provide credible assurance to the
consumer.
Since its introduction in 2006 the Global Organic Textile Standard has already demonstrated
its practical feasibility. Supported by the growth in consumption of organic fibres and by
the remarkable demand for unified processing criteria from the industry and retail sector,
it has gained universal recognition, enabling processors and manufacturers to supply their
organic textiles with one certification accepted in all major markets. With the introduction
of the logo and labelling system the GOTS is already visible not only on the shelves of
natural textile shops but large-scale retailers and brand dealers as well. This is a
milestone in consumer recognition and a strong acknowledgement of our reliable quality
assurance concept.
GOTS standards not only represent the cotton production processes but also applies social criteria to both textile processing and farming to promote humane, safe and hygienic working conditions at all the stages of processing and production. There is no forced labor and workers are not required to lodge so-called "identity deposits" with their employer.
Workers are free to leave their job at any time and have the right to join or form trade unions. Child labor is absolutely forbidden, and strictly enforced. Wages and benefits paid for a standard working week meet national labour standards or industry benchmark standards, whichever is higher. Working hours comply with national laws and benchmark industry standards whichever affords greater protection.
The OrganicEra items are certified as organic by ETKO according to the GOTS standards.
