In our dedicated quest to make a product with integrity, RAMNATION went hunting through the London Textile Fair for organic pocketing fabric.
It is astonishing for us to think about how much time we spent looking for the right thing. Hours upon end. Until we finally discovered the lovely Claudia Pauli and her GOTS certified organic cotton poplins and jerseys at the textile fair. She's even got some fetching gabardines which got us thinking...
One other thing we noticed in our researches is that most organic fabrics are sold into the children's market. So, we want to know - if it's good enough for your kids to grow out of, why isn't organic fabric good enough for grown ups to wear all the time?
