GOTS stands for the Global Organic Textile Standard — the world’s leading certification for organic textiles. It ensures that the entire journey of a fabric, from field to finished product, meets strict environmental and social standards.
What makes GOTS special?
To be certified, a product must meet criteria at every stage of production, including:
- Organic farming – no harmful pesticides or GMOs
- Safe processing – low-impact dyes and no toxic finishes
- Fair working conditions – protection for workers’ rights
- Independent verification – audited by approved certifiers
Why does it matter?
When you choose a GOTS-certified product, you're choosing something that’s:
- Safer for your child – free from harmful chemicals
- Kinder to the planet – using less water and energy
- Fairer for people – protecting those who grow and make the materials
At Petite Amélie, we use GOTS-certified organic cotton in many of our textiles — from baby bedding to soft toys. It’s one more way we ensure our products are safe by design and made with care, inside and out.
