Discover Harvest & Mill’s New 100% Dye-Free Organic Cotton Collection
“Great” rated brand Harvest & Mill makes basics for everyone, always ensuring they are not dyed or bleached, greatly reducing the use of water, energy, and dye materials.
The cotton for the brand’s new collection is 100% organic and is grown, milled, and sewn in the US, supporting American organic cotton farmers and local sewing communities.
Even better, by cultivating different varieties of heirloom cotton like the lovely brown shade of this collection, the brand is able to bolster biodiversity, which is essential for ensuring healthy ecosystems and keeping our planet resilient in the face of climate change.
And with the brand’s fully domestic supply chain, the raw materials travel a fraction of the distance of conventional clothing supply chains, decreasing the carbon footprint of each piece of clothing.
