Apparel
Truly Organic Apparel debuts this spring with a line of chemical-free,
naturally dyed apparel made of organic cotton, with colors derived
from botanicals and herbs from India. According to the company,
it’s the third step in the evolution of eco-friendly apparel.
The first step was organic cottons and fibers, and the second was
low-impact dyes. Truly Organic points out that while low-impact
dyes were a step forward, they still have toxic components. The
use of all-natural dyes, first used in India more than 4,000 years
ago, says the company, is the third step. Not only are the dyes
chemical free, the method by which they are used is more eco-friendly.
