Organic cotton clothing made for what you wear closest to your skin
The clothes we wear most often can stay in direct contact with our skin for hours at a time. That is why material choice sits at the heart of what we make at Orbasics.
Our organic cotton clothing includes leggings, tops, biker shorts, sports bras, sweaters and everyday basics designed to feel soft, comfortable and easy to wear.
Depending on the style, pieces are made from 100% organic cotton or organic cotton with a small amount of elastane where stretch and shape retention are needed. The finished garments — not only the cotton fiber — are GOTS-certified and produced according to the requirements of the GOTS standard.
The exact material composition is listed on every product page.
Why we choose organic cotton
Organic cotton gives our clothing its soft, breathable and familiar feel. It works especially well for pieces that sit close to the body and are worn again and again.
Instead of relying primarily on polyester or nylon, organic cotton forms the main fiber in the clothing in this collection.
Some pieces contain a small percentage of elastane where flexibility is needed. That is why we do not describe our clothing as plastic-free. We would rather be clear about exactly what each garment contains.
What we mean by low-tox and non-toxic clothing
Many people search for non-toxic clothing because they want more transparency around fibers, dyes and textile finishes.
We prefer to focus on the facts rather than promise that any garment is completely “toxin-free.”
The organic cotton clothing in this collection is GOTS-certified as finished products. According to our material and production specifications, the fabrics are PFAS-free, use azo-free dyes and receive no formaldehyde finishes.
For us, low-tox clothing means knowing more about the materials that sit directly on your skin — and being open about the standards, fibers and finishes we use.
GOTS-certified organic cotton clothing for everyday life
From high-waist leggings and biker shorts to tanks, long sleeves, sports bras and soft layers, these are pieces designed to move easily between everyday life, yoga, Pilates and relaxed movement.
Choose the shapes and colours that work for you, wear them together or build them into the wardrobe you already have.
