Steeds meer merken kiezen bewust voor biologisch katoen in hun labels. Dat is een mooie en duurzame keuze: het materiaal is natuurlijk en milieuvriendelijk geproduceerd. Toch is het goed om te weten dat biologisch katoen ook bepaalde eigenschappen heeft waar je rekening mee moet houden. Eén daarvan is dat de uiteinden van labels soms kunnen rafelen.
Organic cotton is an unprocessed and natural material. Unlike synthetic labels, cotton labels cannot be cut using heat. Synthetic labels fuse together this way; natural material would catch fire, which is why organic cotton labels are cold-cut instead. This means the threads at the ends are slightly loose. Stitching the labels in solves this problem and prevents the labels from fraying.

Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to prevent further fraying:
Sustainable materials also call for honesty about their properties. Organic cotton is a wonderful choice for those who value the environment and natural materials. At the same time, it is good to know that minor imperfections — such as slight fraying — can be part of that natural character. And that is precisely what makes each product a little unique.
