At Logan & Finley, we specialize in comfortable, stylish and sustainable clothing. One of the fabrics we like the best is Organic Cotton. We think that Organic Cotton clothing is special for several reasons - it's better for the environment, better for our health and very soft and comfortable to wear.

Thinking about the Environment:
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. This means that the soil, water, and surrounding ecosystems are not contaminated with harmful chemicals.
Organic farming practices focus on maintaining and improving soil health through crop rotation, composting, and other natural techniques. This helps prevent soil degradation and promotes biodiversity.
While cotton generally requires a lot of water, organic cotton farming often uses more sustainable irrigation practices and minimizes water wastage compared to conventional cotton farming.

We just received a delivery of Organic Cotton basics from Spanish brand Yerse and here's what they say about it:
Thinking about our Health
Since organic cotton is grown without synthetic chemicals, there's less risk of harmful residues on the fabric that could irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions. It also tends to be softer and more breathable than conventional cotton, making it a comfortable choice for those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema. And did you know that our skin is our largest organ? Our skin can absorb certain chemicals and substances that come into contact with it. This is why what you put on your skin like skincare products & clothing matters.

Thinking about Sustainability
Organic cotton farming tends to be more sustainable over the long term, as it uses methods that are less harmful to the environment and promote ecological balance. Many organic cotton producers are also committed to ethical labour practices, including fair wages and safe working conditions, in contrast to some conventional cotton farms that may use exploitative labour practices.
Organic cotton fibres tend to be stronger because the plant is not stressed by chemicals. This can result in longer-lasting garments, making them a good investment for both sustainability and longevity.
The Yerse Organics Collection of T-shirts are made in Portugal and we like choosing classic styles so that you can wear for years.
