There are people who swear by the feel and long lasting benefits of organic clothing!
There’s a company here in Boca Raton that designs organic items for your home and for you to wear. Managing Director of Under The Canopy (which has been in Boca Raton for over 10 years) Barbara Cavanagh, told the Miami Herald that “Organic is the new luxury”.
Everything produced by her company is eco-friendly. "The main fabric we're using is organic cotton and that means the cotton is grown without the use of any kind of pesticides," said Cavanagh. The article explained that 25 % of the world's pesticide use goes to growing conventional cotton. "A normal t-shirt, for example, uses a third of a pound of chemicals," said Cavanagh.
They sell t-shirts that have absolutely no chemicals of any kind in them. Ditto for their Organic cotton towels, bed linens or bathrobes. Under The Canopy supports the growing trend towards organic fibers. Nationwide sales of organic cotton have nearly tripled since 2003.
