GOTS Certified Clothing Manufacturer

Certificate RSC 9687, listed in the Global Standard public database at global-standard.org, where you can verify it yourself without asking us. That certification covers our own facility across the scope of products we make, which means the organic claim on a garment we produce is backed by an audited chain rather than an assurance. Two things worth understanding. A Scope Certificate proves the factory is certified; a Transaction Certificate covers your specific shipment, and that is the document a retailer or marketplace will ask for as proof about your particular goods. And certification is not automatic on every order — you have to specify certified fabric, because we also run conventional cotton for clients who do not need the claim and would rather not pay for it.

The whole chain, which is what distinguishes it from labels that certify only the fibre or only the finished product. GOTS covers organic farming standards, then ginning, spinning, knitting or weaving, dyeing and finishing, sewing, and trading — every operator in that sequence must be individually certified for a garment to carry the claim. It restricts permitted chemical inputs, bans PFAS outright in version 7.0, requires functioning wastewater treatment, and applies social criteria based on ILO conventions covering forced labour, child labour, freedom of association, safe conditions and living wages. Two label grades exist: "organic" needs 95 per cent certified organic fibre, "made with organic" needs 70 per cent. Every certified operator holds a numbered certificate in a public database — ours is RSC 9687, and you can verify it yourself.

Yes — from a hundred pieces per style, per colour, in GOTS-certified organic cotton under certificate RSC 9687, which you can verify yourself in the Global Standard public database rather than taking our word for it. Most factories treat certified organic as a bulk-only option because the certified fabric has to be bought in its own lot sizes and the chain-of-custody paperwork is the same amount of work whether you order a hundred pieces or ten thousand. We run it at a hundred because the paperwork is already part of how we operate, not an exception we make for large clients. Two things worth knowing: certified organic fabric costs more per kilo, which shows up more on a heavyweight hoodie than a lightweight tee, and we can issue a Transaction Certificate covering your specific order when a retailer, marketplace or customer asks for documented proof rather than a logo.

Cotton can be grown organically without anything downstream being certified — the spinning, dyeing, and sewing could still involve toxic chemistry or exploitative labour, and there's no way for a customer to check. GOTS certifies the entire chain, not just the field, and sets minimum certified-organic fibre requirements before a product may carry each permitted label wording. That is the difference between a claim and a checkable fact. In practice the difference is whether anyone checked. Organic describes the farming; GOTS certifies the farming plus the ginning, spinning, dyeing, sewing and trading, against restrictions on chemical inputs, wastewater treatment and ILO-based labour criteria. So a garment can be made from genuinely organic cotton, dyed with restricted chemicals in a facility with poor conditions, and still be described as organic cotton — accurately. It would not be GOTS. The other difference is that GOTS gives you a number rather than an adjective: ours is RSC 9687, listed at global-standard.org, and a buyer, retailer or customer can verify it without involving us.

Two different documents exist, and which one you need depends on what you're being asked to prove. Our Scope Certificate, number RSC 9687, proves the factory is certified and is publicly listed at global-standard.org — you can look it up yourself right now without involving us. A Transaction Certificate covers one specific shipment, naming the products, quantities and buyer, and that is the document a retailer, marketplace or auditor will want as proof that your particular goods came through the certified chain. We issue Transaction Certificates on request; tell us at order stage rather than after shipping, because the certificate is generated against the production records and it is far simpler to arrange while the order is live than retrospectively.

Check it yourself, without asking us. Our certificate number is RSC 9687 and it is listed in the Global Standard public database at global-standard.org — search the number or our company name and you will see the certificate, its status, its expiry and the product categories it covers. That takes under a minute and does not depend on anything we tell you. The reason we lead with the number rather than the logo is that the logo is just an image anyone can copy, and a surprising number of suppliers do exactly that. If you want documentation for a specific order rather than proof the factory is certified, ask us for a Transaction Certificate — that covers your particular shipment and is what a retailer or marketplace will want to see.
