Cotton products:
Cotton is mainly the trichome of the cotton boll which opens up when it is fully ripened and grows in tropical and sub-tropical climate. The cotton Engel uses, is mainly hand-picked, organic and therefore free from pesticides, fertilizer and herbicides. Besides the gentle treatment of nature, a fair cooperation with the producers is guaranteed. Natural cotton is very eudermic and thus especially suits sensitive skin. Besides it is hard-wearing and robust. Textiles from natural cotton are also antistatic, colour-consistent and can be washed in washing machines with high temperatures.
When buying clothes from untreated cotton it is important that you always buy them a little bigger as they shrink about 3 % to 5 %. Customary washing powders containing brighteners, bleach, phosphates, etc. are not advisable as colours fade more quickly, textiles are strained and sewage are polluted with chemicals.

sparked by one woollen sweater the Icelandic design company and clothing brand As We Grow has built a growing design business with an ambitious, sustainable approach to the use and life cycle of the products, resulting in less waste. In just five years the company has made it to the highest podium of the Icelandic Design Award 2016. They're a leader in 'slow fashion'!
The As We Grow look leans to tradition. The pieces carry references to the Icelandic rural past, a nostalgic retro flair from the time when children’s clothes were still made at home by hand. More than merely a style choice, simplicity and timelessness add to the life cycle of the product. From the beginning, we have believed in designing products that offer real value to their users. This means, offering garments that last over generations, as well as always being mindful of the environment and communities. Each As We Grow piece is fair trade for the benefit of all people.
As We Grow uses natural, biodegradable fabrics and yarns; mostly warm, water-resistant alpaca and wool, and soft and fine hand-harvested pima cotton and linen, all of which are supremely durable.
As We Grow products are made responsible in factories with the best possible methods, facilities and staff policies, chosen by the owners personally to ensure that all parts of the production are lean and environmental. Excess yarn is used in hand knitted scarves and hats. Producing like this tends to cost slightly more, but the benefits to both the people making the clothing and the environment are huge.
