Organic Cotton Takes Center Stage at Spreadshirt

First print-on-demand provider to promote organic cotton in own collection

Spreadshirt is the first print-on-demand player in Europe to place organic cotton at the front and centre of its own collection. This strategic move is in response to changes in customer preferences. The self-expression ecommerce company has been offering sustainably produced organic products from various well-known suppliers such as Stanley / Stella and Continental Clothing since 2012. Currently, around 15% of all the apparel at Spreadshirt is available in organic cotton. Now Spreadshirt is launching its own Premium Organic Line, made from 100% certified organic cotton. This move will enhance the house brand and reflects the company’s position as the European market leader.
