We feel extremely privileged to have a close relationship with each and every one of our suppliers - they are part of our extended family here at Posse and we’re so grateful for their ongoing support and dedication to our brand.
Our suppliers share the same ethos as we do, to manufacture responsibly and ethically. With the help of our suppliers, we are constantly searching for better practices and more efficient ways of doing things to ensure we’re treading as lightly as we can.

OUR FABRIC CERTIFICATIONS
Here at Posse, we are committed to using a range of carefully sourced, luxury fabrications to ensure the highest standard of quality is being met. Our price points are a reflection of these premium fabrications alongside the quality, longevity and skilled craftsmanship of our products.
With the help from our manufacturing partners, we are dedicated to using the most sustainable materials we can source. We work with a number of fabrications including OEKO-TEX linen, GOTS organic cotton, BCI cotton and responsibly sourced wool.
OUR FABRIC CERTIFICATIONS
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 - All of the linens in our core range are certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100. This means they are completely free from harmful chemicals and substances. Our linens are soft, breathable and get better with every wear.
GOTS CERTIFIED - (Global Organic Textile Standard) - A number of our Posse pieces are made from GOTS certified organic cotton. Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides, from seeds which have not been genetically modified. Organic cotton uses 91% less water and emits 46% less CO2 emissions than conventional cotton, having a significantly better impact on both our people and our planet.
RWS certification - Our knitted garments are made from RWS certified wool. This is a responsible wool standard that addresses the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on, ensuring fair treatment of animals as well as respect for the environment.
BCI certification- The Better Cotton Initiative is a set of on-farm best practices covering social and environmental issues like pesticides, water, soil health and wellbeing. Their aim is to make cotton farming a more climate-resilient, environmentally friendly and responsible business.
