O Ecotextiles want to change the way textiles are made proving that its possible to produce luxurious, sensuous fabrics in ways that are non-toxic, ethical and sustainable.
Leigh Anne Van Dusen and Patty Grossman founded this company to make the whole world safer while making our personal environments more beautiful. After forming O Ecotextiles in 2004, they began a world-wide search for manufacturing partners interested in a cradle-to-cradle process of creating no-impact, perfectly safe, incredibly luxurious fabrics.
They began working with people around the world: Romanian farmers who dew- or field-ret hemp stalks; a Japanese mill owner committed to "green" processes, even new methods such as using ozone to bleach fabric; a 100-year-old Italian mill that produces no wastewater; a Chilean mill shifting to entirely green processes; an Italian dye house that produces biodegradable, heavy-metal free textiles.
