Why prefer an ethical organic cotton jersey?

GOTS Label (Global Organic Textile Standard) 

Since its creation, Luz has been invested as a luxury textile brand, but not only. The Luztique spirit is above all to display its femininity in elegant, colorful and feminine swimwear or body cuts, but it is also and above all, respect for the environment and the small producers who deliver the basic cotton of the models. At Luz, we are GOTS ! Don't know what it is yet?

What most labels hide from you

Unfortunately, when you flash on a small sweater, an absolutely charming jersey, behind its pleasant, graphic or original appearance, very sad realities are at the origin of their manufacture.

The world of textiles is one of the worst for the working conditions of workers. Miserable wages, the existence of sweatshops all over the world, and worse, the exploitation of children who, according to the international convention of the rights assigned to them, do not have to work.

And do you sometimes carry out the chemical treatments that your clothes undergo before being delivered delightful and well ironed on shop mannequins or on the internet ?

Raw materials and dyes with proven toxicity are plethora. From the field where cotton is grown, for example, where pesticides are used excessively, to the manufacturing workshops: the worst example is Blue Jean that we know to be treated several times with carcinogenic substances to obtain its traditional appearance that everyone loves...

Generally the employees in these positions have no protection even gloves or masks ; moreover, at the end of the chain it is the consumer who will suffer. How many cases revealed of allergy or even burn after wearing a garment that was to be THE piece of his dressing room ...

We don't want to be alarmist for nothing

At Luz, the idea of marketing high-end swimwear and bodysuits has not made us forget that nature and the people working for us must be able to be protected.

We and many other brands are now working to offer ethical, fair trade textile products. The biology cotton we use is grown without pesticides or weed killers that affect soil fertility.
Organic cotton or hemp preserves the land that produces them, and the health of those who grow, process, and wear them.

The GOTS label prohibits the presence of pesticides and heavy metals. Beyond these environmental and human considerations, Luz is proud to promote through its creations this label that ensures the traceability of raw materials as well as the working conditions of workers in a responsible ethic;
they are small producers who participate in the adventure of Luz jerseys. They are paid the fair value of their work, being able to support themselves without working underpaid hours or without wages (because it still exists...).     

That's why, buying swimsuits, refined bodysuits and GOTS labeled , makes you an Luztique who thinks about future generations and the well-being of cotton producers at the end of the world !

With the GOTS certification, you can offer or treat yourself without worries to beautiful pieces from our 2018 collections, for swimming or for an unforgettable evening! The biological origin of the fibers is safe. Cotton processing processes are socially responsible. The Luz jersey is fair ! And it is healthy to wear because it contains no heavy metals or carcinogenic amines, nor GMOs or formaldehydes.    

Then... To your jerseys, to your Luz bodysuits !

And in the meantime, Happy New Year to all of you!
