Plover is stylish, sustainable home textiles. All their cotton textiles are produced from the best quality 100% organic cotton, making it better for you and your family, for your home, and for the environment.  It comes from non-genetically engineered seeds grown in soil that is free of pesticides, herbicides or other cytotoxins--keeping those poisons away from those you love and out of the ecosystem.

All organic fibers used by Plover are certified according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which is dedicated specifically for fiber and textile handling and production.

Plover uses a hydrogen peroxide bleaching process and only low-impact, fiber reactive dyes. These dyes form a strong bond with the cotton fiber and have excellent colorfastness, but contain no heavy metals. The dyeing process uses less water than conventional dyeing, and all dye material is reclaimed and not released as effluent. By comparison, roughly half of the chemicals used as conventional dyes on cotton end up as waste in rivers and soil.

Plover's method of dyeing conforms fully to the American Organic Fiber Processing Standards (AOFPS) recognized by the OTA, as well as the Oeko-Tex 100 Standard and that of the Environmental Technology Advancement Directorate (ETAD) recognized in Europ.

Plover uses fair labor manufacturing, in accordance with Social Accountability International's (SAI) SA8000 standard. SA8000 is based on the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Convention on the Rights of the Child, and various International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions.

The variations: Plover's textiles are printed by hand, so color and print variations sometimes occur. We believe this is part of the one-of-a-kind charm of Plover's textiles.
