Very soft and comfortable long-sleeved shirt with shoulder popper in gentle melange colours - navy, pebble and turquoise!

• super soft on the skin
• made from 100% GOTS certified cotton

This is made from 100% organic cotton.

Pigeon are very proud that their organic certification covers the entire supply chain, from field to finished product.

The cotton is grown organically, and the processing (spinning, weaving, washing, dyeing, etc) is undertaken in an environmentally and socially responsible way.

Their cotton comes from Turkey, where there is a very serious knowledge of organic growing and carefully controlled processing.

The Soil Association is the UK certification body which certifies their clothes in accordance with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards).

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is a globally agreed standard to which the main national certification bodies have signed up. It not only covers environmental factors, but also social considerations by ensuring that all processors and manufacturers meet the minimum social criteria of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), covering employment practices, working conditions, pay, collective bargaining, and the banning of child labour. For more information about GOTs, go to http://www.global-standard.org/.

Control Union (formerly SKAL) is the internationally recognised (Dutch) certification body, which handles the organic controls in Turkey where the fabric is produced, also in accordance with GOTS.

The dyes used on their fabrics are not organic themselves, but the GOTS compliance ensures that they do not contain harmful substances. They are also covered by the above organic inspection processes.

Please wash your organic cotton on a 30oc cotton cycle.

A small amount of shrinkage may occur in the first couple of washes, but the clothes are made slightly bigger to accomodate this. Air dry, and re-shape while damp if necessary.

To help all your clothes last longer, always air dry rather than tumble dry.

To reduce calcium build-up which can contribute to a hardening of your clothing, add a little vinegar to your rinse cycle.

At Cambridge Baby we love Pigeon, because their designs are cute, colourful and practical, and the clothes are made with respect - for your child's skin, for the workers who make them and for the planet!

Pigeon was originally called Organics for Kids. It is a UK business founded in 2004 by Jane Shepherd in 2004.
Jane's lifelong passion for textiles and a deep interest in environmental solution have shaped the clothes in Pigeon's range and the way they are made.

Pigeon use 100% organic cotton, GOTS certified as organic by the Soil Association. That means that the whole production follows environmental standards, but also social standards set by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). And their poppers are nickel free!
