Organic farms
ORGANSK® jeans begin in the cotton fields, where farmers pick the cotton that will ultimately be used to create our denim material. At ORGANSK®, we only use organic farms for all our virgin cotton.
Our recycled cotton comes from pre- and postconsumer textiles, supplied by ISKO (Turkey). Our organic cotton is supplied by Calik Cotton, Turkish GOTS certified cotton and by ISKO (Turkish and global GOTS certified cotton).
Certifications: GOTS, GRS
Organic cotton saves and protects our precious water, helps farmers feed their families and eliminates hazardous synthetic pesticides. Cultivation of organic cotton is safe for farmers and their families. Farmers are free to save seeds and choose what they grow, and soil is nurtured, making it viable for the long term. This leaves the air, soil and water free from contaminates that cause harm.
