ABOUT US
100% Organic Cotton Only
Our Founders
"We believe that even the smallest choices can create the biggest change."
Hi, we’re Bart and Alicja, the founders of Viri Cotton. We started this small, family-owned company because we wanted to create something that truly aligns with our values—a brand that cares for the planet, supports fair treatment for everyone in the supply chain, and helps people make sustainable choices through what they wear.
For us, Viri Cotton isn’t just about selling t-shirts; it’s about showing that fashion can be kind to both people and the environment. From using 100% organic cotton to partnering with businesses that meet the highest ethical standards, every decision we make is guided by a commitment to doing things the right way.
We’re so grateful to have you with us on this journey. Together, we can make a difference—one t-shirt at a time.
Our Story
Viri Cotton’s story began with a search—a search for the best way to bring sustainable, ethical fashion to life. For us, it wasn’t just about creating t-shirts; it was about carefully considering every step of the process. From sourcing 100% organic cotton to ensuring fair treatment for everyone involved, we wanted to build a brand that stood for something meaningful.
Our journey took us across the globe, from the cotton fields of Tanzania and India to state-of-the-art production facilities in Bangladesh. Along the way, we partnered with those who share our values—businesses that prioritise sustainability, ethical practices, and quality craftsmanship.
Every Viri Cotton t-shirt has a story, and it’s one we’re proud to share with you. From the moment a seed is planted to the final stitch and print, we make sure every step reflects our commitment to doing better for the planet and its people. For us, it’s not just about what you wear—it’s about how it’s made and the positive impact it can create.
Key Values
Sustainability Without Compromise:
We are committed to 100% organic cotton, avoiding polyester and harmful synthetics entirely. Organic cotton is soft, breathable, and free from harsh chemicals, making it better for your skin and the planet. By choosing natural fibres, we reduce environmental harm and ensure our products are as comfortable as they are eco-friendly.
Fair and Ethical Production:
From seed to shirt, we only work with partners who prioritise fairness and safety in their practices. Through Fair Wear certification, we ensure that everyone involved in creating your t-shirt is treated with dignity, provided safe working conditions, and paid fairly. Ethical production is at the heart of everything we do, because fashion should never come at the expense of people.
Minimal Environmental Impact:
From using organic farming methods that conserve water and avoid harmful chemicals, to shipping your t-shirt in recyclable paper packaging, we are committed to reducing waste and protecting the planet. Every step of our process is designed to minimise our footprint, so you can feel good about what you wear.
At Viri Cotton, we believe in doing better—for people, the planet, and the future. 🌱 🌍

Together with our partners, we continue to go beyond certifications to increase our understanding and drive positive action for our planet and its people.
GOTS
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading worldwide standard for organic cotton. Based on both ecological and social criteria, it guarantees that cotton is organically grown without the use of genetically modified seeds or hazardous chemicals.
It also ensures traceability from post-harvesting of the raw material to the final customer, including transaction certificates at every stage of production. We offer GOTS-certified products, each labelled individually.
OEKO – TEX
Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world's best-known standards for assessing harmful substances in fabrics. Our partner's certification confirms that our products contain no chemical substances that are harmful to human health and the environment and guarantees that they comply with the EU REACH regulation. Standard 100 also prohibits certain potentially harmful substances even where these are not yet legally banned.
PETA
Stanley/Stella is 'PETA-Approved', which means that our t-shirt supplier do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and pledge never to do so. Our products are made from 100% vegan materials with no ingredients of animal origin, ensuring that no harm is caused to animals.
