Organics at Volksfaden
I can’t be very cool about this, cos I’m seriously proud and delighted to announce that:
A. One of my designs is being sold at Volksfaden, and…
2. (hate it when people do this) it’s part of Volksfaden’s collection of organic cotton prints.
So here it is: Printed on GOTS certified organic cotton and printed with vegetable dyes. Ladies and gents, I present ”Linked Birds’, available in gold and in plum.
There are loads of other lovely prints in the organic collection too, by a whole range of designers:
Mari Green by Hiromi Kimura
What I Wore by Sandra Monat
Daisy Apples by Linda Gaylord (Volksfaden)
Turtles Black by Jane Foster
I’m honestly thrilled to bits to have one of my designs being sold at Volksfaden. I still can hardly believe it when my designs end up in places like this, which I’ve always regarded with awe. It’s also really a good feeling to finally have an organic product on offer, even if I didn’t do it myself.

I also love the fact that it is printed with vegetable dyes too.

And so rightly proud you should be (or some iteration of that thought)! It’s a fantastic design on a supreme base good – organics rock no matter how they make into the world b/c it works toward changing mindsets and contributing to a healthier planet and cotton farmer!

Thanks, Jan. I’d love to go organic with my own products too, but while I do have a contact in China through whom I could get organic cotton, I’ve decided to support the (struggling) local textiles industry instead. I hope that one day South Africa will have a viable organic cotton industry too, so I can go organic while supporting my local economy. xx
