The GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD (GOTS) is the gold standard for organic textiles. This certification ensures sustainable and ethical manufacturing across all stages of production. It holds Under the Nile accountable to stringent ecological and social criteria, encompassing everything from organic cotton cultivation to safe fabric finishes, sustainable packaging, and fair treatment of workers. To maintain our GOTS standard, the factory where our goods are meticulously made in Egypt undergoes annual inspections.

Did you know? Under the Nile proudly holds the distinction of being the first baby clothing company in the USA to become GOTS certified! This certification guarantees that every aspect of our production and processing is sustainable and ethical, from the moment our Egyptian cotton is grown until the product reaches your hands.

USDA Organic: National Organic Program (NOP)

Our premium Egyptian cotton is certified by the USDA NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM (NOP), a strictly regulated standard. The farms where our cotton flourishes adhere to firm standards concerning soil and water quality, as well as wetland, woodland, and wildlife conservation. Crucially, the use of synthetic fertilizers and genetic engineering is strictly prohibited, ensuring the purity and integrity of our raw materials.

Fair Traded: The "Economy of Love" Standard in Egypt

We are proud to declare that ALL OUR PRODUCTS ARE FAIR TRADED. All our goods are meticulously crafted at our factory in Egypt under the guiding principles of the "Economy of Love". This comprehensive standard includes a complete audit of our fair trade practices throughout our entire textile chain. It extends beyond just fair wages, encompassing broader dimensions such as societal development and equality to enhance the living standards for everyone involved in our production. We passionately believe it is the fundamental right of all men and women who make our products to receive fair wages, be treated with dignity, and be provided with safe working conditions.
