I am completely and utterly in love with my new 100% organic cotton, cable knit throw from BOLL & BRANCH. This company is fantastic because they make the highest quality, gorgeous sheets and throws, which have an extra feel-good factor because of how they are made: First off, they are made with the purest organically grown cotton on Earth – so better for the farms and the environment. Secondly, they are made by the hands of happy people who are paid fairly and treated well, which cannot be said of 90% of bed linen manufacturers who use cheap labor. Since the modern-day slave trade is one of the fasted growing industries in the world, Boll & Branch makes a donation to Not For Sale, providing a victim of human trafficking with shelter, education and hope.
Also, let’s not forget that cotton is the most heavily-pesticide sprayed crop in the world, which means that conventionally-grown cotton harms the farmers and the ground water. I always support organically-grown cotton whenever I can.
Their organic sheets are the softest imaginable, and if you’re like me, satiny-soft sheets are a game-changer for getting a good night’s sleep. I also have to say that although at first blush these sheets may seem expensive – when you compare the prices to fine organic sheets from a mass-produced company, they are actually more reasonable – and they don’t have the added costs, which include retail mark-up (these are factory-direct) and the other hidden costs with most mass produced bed linens is also the harm caused to badly-treated people, and the environment. Two thumbs up for a stunning product – now I know what my nearest and dearest are getting for Holiday Gifts!
