If you have an interest in buying organic clothing, you may have noticed it usually costs a little more than traditional fabrics. Much of the fabrics used in eco-friendly clothing use organic cotton. According to the Organic Trade Association, clothing companies are developing design programmes that either use 100 percent organically grown cotton, or blend small percentages of organic cotton with conventional in their products.
Some of the price difference comes from the way the clothing is made.
The organic cotton industry is still a growing market and producers are active in supporting Fair Trade. The clothing isn’t made in sweat shops by cheap labour; the products are made by workers who are paid a fair wage for their labour.
So for those of you who think organic fabrics might not be worth the cost, think about the big picture. Every little difference counts, and if you think about it the price difference it really isn’t all that significant. At this time of year its even less significant at Sones where we are having a fantastic sale.
There are lots of genuine bargains to be found. Like this Star pattern baby gown now only £5.49 or Star pyjamas at only £9.00. So visit our sale section and see if there is anything that appeals.
