Designed for use. At VACVAC studio, we work first and foremost from the basic premise that we design for use. It may sound trite, but there is currently an increasing focus on designing for reuse - for example, by avoiding mixed materials.

The fact is, however, that very few clothes are ever recycled into new ones, which is why we emphasize designing for function and durability instead. Good children's clothes require a little extra in terms of freedom of movement, and at the same time they are inevitably washed more frequently - and the frequent washing can unfortunately mean that cotton textiles in particular achieve a particular dryness that is neither comfortable nor flattering. That's why you'll find that some of our GOTS-certified basic styles have a small amount of elastane added to give them just the right properties. Our thesis is that beautiful clothes that maintain softness, color fastness and shape over time have a good chance of being worn for a long time.

Our materials generally fall into two categories, GOTS-certified organic cotton, with and without elastane. What they have in common is that they are carefully tested prior to production.

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) GOTS is the leading international standard for organic textiles and sets a wide range of requirements for everything from fiber traceability and content, waste minimization, chemical use and wastewater management to textile durability and social working conditions throughout the product value chain - all the way from the fiber in the field to the finished garment. In this way, it is a holistic certification, where we as a brand must also be able to document that we work according to the requirements. We are certified by IDFL and have license number IDFL015710.

When we have chosen to be GOTS certified, it is because of the certification's focus on both people and the environment, and as a children's clothing brand, we find great peace of mind in knowing that our products are tested according to strict chemical requirements, so that your and your child's health is also at the center.

Under GOTS 7.0, there are two "grades", the first of which, "Organic", requires that the finished product contains 95-100% organic fibers, while "made with Organic" requires that at least 70-95% of the textile must consist of organic fibers. Both allow us to work with the functionality of the garment without compromising on responsibility - and neither of the two allow the addition of conventional cotton fibers.
