IT’S (ALSO) ABOUT HEALTH!
Eticlò pays constantly attention to make meaning choices.
Health is one of the most important topics for us! We take care of it in different ways:
1) We only use organic fabrics for the health of farmers
We will never get tired of saying it. Choosing organic fibers brings loads of benefits not only for the environment, but also for the workers involved in the production chain.
Organic farming, in fact, guarantees farmers and agricultural communities healthy living conditions, avoiding the direct and continuous relationship with hazardous chemicals which are used in conventional agriculture.
Sekem (https://www.sekem.com/en/index/), our main supplier of cotton and linen, has studied the effects of traditional and organic agriculture; it proved that “organic production methods are better for the health of farmers since they do not involve the use of substances chemicals” (“The future of agriculture in Egypt – comparative cost accounting study of organic and conventional food production system in Egypt”, 2016).
2) Our natural fabrics and sustainable dyes are better for your skin
Skin is the largest organ of our body; that’s why we must take care of it.
Natural fabrics which have been dyed with ecological colors are more gentle for your skin.
Sustainable fashion is also an investment in your own and other people’s health.
Let’s keep it in mind when buying new clothes!
