These shorts are crafted from high quality GOTS-certified Organic Cotton. They are breathable, durable and comfortable, designed for seasonless everyday wear.
Clean Ingredients / Materials
Made from excellent, non-toxic materials. 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. OEKO-Tex and Fair Trade certified.
Ethical Practices
Staple prioritises Fair Trade and GOTS-certified organic cotton, working exclusively with Fair Trade, GOTS, OEKO-TEX and FLOCERT/Fairtrade certified factories that uphold fair labour standards and safe working conditions. The supply chain is fully transparent, as certified by independent bodies. No animal products are used and manufacturers that condone child or forced labour are excluded. A Fairtrade Premium is also paid to the manufacturer for a communal fund to improve workers’ social, economic and environmental conditions.
Sustainable Practices
Staple focuses on producing timeless, seasonless essentials to encourage conscious consumption and reduce waste. The brand uses GOTS-certified organic cotton and plans to introduce Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) Cotton. Manufacturing is conducted by a BSCI-certified, family-run business in India, with additional Fair Trade, FLO/Fairtrade, GOTS and OEKO TEX certifications. Packaging uses eco-friendly and compostable materials for hang-tags, thank you cards, mailers, postage labels and stickers.
Social Impact
Staple donates various profits to local charities and organisations through a bi-annual initiative, with recent donations made to a small local community in Indonesia, Deserving Better WA and The Push For Better Foundation. The brand partners with local charities and not-for-profit organisations and engages with the community at the Mount Claremont Farmers Market by discussing ethical manufacturing, slow fashion and ways to make positive changes in shopping habits.
Product Reviews by Experts
Finally!!! A local and fairtrade certified brand that also creates beautifully designed, GOTS certified organic pieces for women, men, and teens. I’m over the moon to have discovered this brand through the Clean + Conscious Awards. The Terry Shorts are super comfortable – they don’t dig in or add pressure to my abdomen, which I’ve found is often the case with elasticated waistbands, so that’s a huge plus. They feel durable and high-quality, and the tie waist inside the band is a smart feature. I’ve worn them out, around the house, and I’ve slept in them. A true everyday, ethical staple! Certified organic cotton AND fairtrade certification are some of the highest priorities I look for when buying new pieces, so it’s fantastic that STAPLE Co has these certifications. It provides that extra layer of trust, so I know that the sourcing and production are done ethically. A huge commendation to STAPLE Co for their responsible and transparent sourcing and manufacturing.
Staple Co’s Organic Cotton French Terry Shorts are ultra comfortable and made for living. The sturdy waistband, adjustable drawstring and double pockets are great, functional additions. Thanks to their organic cotton make-up, the shorts are super soft to touch and gentle on the skin. Staple Co has committed to a well-rounded approach to sustainability. The embrace of organic cotton is great and the inclusion of regenerative organic certified is even better. It’s refreshing to see this continual innovation. I particularly like Staple Co’s Fairtrade partnership, and the fact that it pays garment workers a living wage.
I love these shorts. They’re so comfortable to wear and have a really nice weight to them – the organic cotton feels soft, breathable and beautifully made. I keep reaching for them because they’re easy to throw on with just about anything, and I love the simple, classic style. It’s also great to see them made from Fair Trade, GOTS-certified organic cotton with such a genuine focus on ethical and sustainable production.
