Organic material
Organic certification requires that a material be produced without the use of any pesticides or chemicals. Therefore, organic fabrics are certified according to strict standards that cover every stage of the production process, from the cultivation of raw materials all the way to the finished product. These certifications are the promise of a fully traceable textile product, manufactured with the greatest respect for the soil, water and biodiversity while also ensuring optimal conditions for the workers.
Responsible Down Standard (RDS)
RDS works to promote and encourage ethical practices in the down industry as well as high standards of animal welfare. An RDS-certified product is a guarantee that all animals involved in the manufacturing process have been respected and well treated.
Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)
The purpose of RWS is to ensure the welfare and proper treatment of sheep raised for wool, as well as the health of the soil on which they graze. It also addresses the welfare, health and work conditions of the workers.

These certifications ensure that rigorous standards are met to promote the quality of life of workers and producers, their economic stability and the improvement of their social and environmental conditions. They guarantee responsible and ethical production, promoting equity and well-being for all involved.
Eco-Labels
Eco-responsible product
An indication of commitment to the environmental cause, this label reflects a company's desire to reduce its ecological footprint and adopt sustainable practices. This can be applied to production methods, operations, choice of materials or packaging, or overall business activities.
PVC-free product
Used to waterproof clothing, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a plastic material known to be harmful to the environment and to have an impact on human health. Products made without PVC are a greener, safer, and equally effective alternative.
Reused material
This label indicates that products destined for landfills that could not be recycled or used again in their original form have been repurposed. Choosing items made from reused materials is a step toward reducing waste and an environmentally conscious choice.
Recycled material
Recycling creates new materials by giving a second life to products, whether they are plastic waste such as water bottles or fishing nets, scraps of fabric or clothing, or residues from the manufacturing of textiles.
Vegan product
This label indicates production without the use of any materials or products derived from animals. It applies to the finished product, its components, and every step of the manufacturing process.
