The fabric for the organic Crossweave collection has been carefully sourced with both the environment and worker welfare in mind.
The fabric is supplied by the Organic Textile Company, who have a personal relationship with their supplier in Kerala. Together they ensure that the fabric is fairly traded as well as organic.
The weavers in Kerala hand dye the cotton yarn using low impact dyes, before weaving it on small powerlooms. Crossweave fabric uses different coloured yarns for the warp and the weft, to create an effect that is subtle, complex and high quality. As with any handwoven fabric, there may be small imperfections, but this very much adds to its charm.
We hem the fabric squares with responsibly sourced organic cotton thread, ensuring that the wraps are 100% organic.
The instruction card accompanying each wrap is printed on 100% recycled and recyclable Kraft card.
The pack of three gift tags is handmade using card and fabric offcuts from our instruction card and wrap production.
All our packaging is plastic free. We send out parcels in 100% recycled card sleeves or boxes and only use eco-friendly paper tape. If a parcel needs padding, we use fabric offcuts or paper from parcels we ourselves have received.
Please note: we pre-wash all crossweave fabrics using eco-friendly cycles and detergent. Fabric gift wraps shouldn’t need laundering, but if you do wash them you may notice some slight further shrinkage. We recommend a cool wash setting and gentle eco-friendly detergent. Although creases don’t show once the fabric is wrapped around a gift, the wraps can always be ironed.
