GOTS — the Global Organic Textile Standard — is the most comprehensive certification a textile can carry. This piece explains what it actually verifies, why it matters for the fabric you sleep on and live with, and what the certification took to earn (we became the world’s first GOTS-certified producer of hand block printed textiles in 2012).

Hand block printing is a centuries-old Indian craft where wooden blocks are dipped in colour and pressed pattern-by-pattern onto fabric. This guide covers what it is, how it’s done, why each piece comes out slightly different, and why those small imperfections are the signature of human work, not a flaw.
