Purely Listed analysis

Official homepage and current official pages emphasize organic cotton and the brand’s hand-sewn apparel model. Product feed access was not available in the site sweep, so product-level trims still need manual confirmation. No brand-wide plastic-free claim is assumed; sewing thread, elastic, linings, closures, finishes, and trims still require product-level confirmation. The score is brand-wide: an excellent 100% natural-fiber item does not make a mixed catalog synthetic-free.

What to verify before buying

Confirm the exact product page and care label for fiber percentages, sewing thread, elastic, labels, linings, closures, finishes, coatings, and packaging. “100%” normally describes the main fabric unless the brand provides a full component bill of materials.

Best for

Organic cotton basics, dresses, tees, skirts, and hand-sewn wardrobe pieces.

Material risk

Current product-listing sample did not surface direct polyester, nylon, acrylic, elastane/spandex, or regenerated-cellulose risk terms. Continue to verify item-level composition, linings, trims, thread, waistbands, closures, finishes, and packaging before treating any product as plastic-free.
