What’s the secret behind our #Fairtrade-organic clothes? When you wear this sweatshirt, you’re supporting cotton farmers, workers, children, and communities, while protecting our planet. How? We knit each piece with Fairtrade-organic cotton and recycled polyester.

The first harvest was heavily impacted by the rain, and the results were less than ideal. But with the second picking, the cotton is looking much healthier across the fields. Farmers are now hard at work, carefully harvesting and ensuring the best possible quality. #Fairtrade

Ever noticed these blue and yellow boards in cotton fields?💡 They are called sticky traps, a simple, organic, chemical-free way to attract pests.🌱 This method helps farmers protect their crops while also caring for the environment. #Fairtradeuk #FairtradeCotton

Cotton is often called #WhiteGold, but is it truly fair for those who grow it?🧐 Many farmers rely on middlemen and are often paid a pittance, with prices constantly fluctuating. At SUstainable, we choose #Fairtrade cotton to support a more equitable future for farmers.🌱💚

The Stitch supervisors' training programme empowered women at our factory to build confidence. These wonderful ladies have not only been promoted to supervisor level, but they've also better managed their stress and time, and thus have a better work-life balance. #GenderEquality

Behind every field is a story of resilience but also of uncertainty... ...unpexpected and deeply unhelpful heavy cyclonic rains took a toll on the 2025 cotton harvest in India. This left many farmers across cotton-growing villages facing difficult realities. #ClimateChange

Handpicked #cotton means better quality. Without machinery, the fibres remain undamaged. This maintains their natural strength and length, and avoids contamination from leaves and stems. The result is softer, more durable textiles. #FairtradeCotton #SustainableFashion

While visiting Lebed Fairtrade Cotton Village Primary school in Bhawanipatna, Odisha, Andy talked to students and handed out sweets at the end. A lovely moment shared with the wider community connected to the cotton farms. #Fairtrade #Cottoncommunities #India #Sustainablecotton

This is where the journey of our #fairtrade cotton garments begins. Last year, Andy visited India in November 2025, right in the middle of harvest season, and witnessed firsthand the work and dedication that go into every crop. #Cottonharvest #Sustainablefarming

Fairtrade cotton focuses on fair pricing, workers’ rights, and community wellbeing.✨ Organic cotton focuses on protecting the environment and eradicating harmful chemicals.🌱 At SUstainable, we don’t choose between the two — we use Fairtrade‑Organic cotton.🌍💚

Cotton picking is done by hand, plant by plant. 🌿🌾 Here, during his recent visit to India, Andy learned directly from the farmers who grow our organic cotton. 🧑🏻‍🌾 #OrganicCotton #Fairtrade #PeopleBehindTheProduct
