When manufacturing apparel in Peru, choosing organic cotton is a smart decision for your brand. However, to officially label your garments as «organic» in international markets, you need a trusted proof. That is where the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) comes in.

What exactly is GOTS?

It is the world’s leading certification for organic textiles. It ensures that your clothes are truly sustainable from the cotton field to the final packaging. It is not just about the raw material; it monitors every single step, including spinning the yarn, dyeing the fabric, and garment manufacturing. It also bans dangerous chemicals throughout production, making the final product completely safe. Additionally, it guarantees that the factories treat their workers fairly, providing safe conditions and proper wages.

The Crucial Paperwork

For your brand, the most important part of this process is a document called the Transaction Certificate (TC). Think of it as an official receipt for your specific order. Every time the factory completes a production run, they must provide this certificate to prove that the cotton used for your garments was handled under organic rules. Without this paper, you cannot legally sell the collection as organic.
