The Chunky Sweater Baby

The sweater is 100% organic cotton yarn, with the specific grower named as Govardhan Agro Food Organic Producer Group in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, India, and GOTS certification attached to that cotton.

The only construction detail disclosed is that this chunky knitwear may show loose threads near seams, with guidance to tuck rather than cut them; no snap, seam-flatness or appliqué-security claim is made for this garment.

Knitwear dyes, including those used in the Chunky Sweater, are stated to meet the ZDHC Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals standard, a named chemical-safety standard for dye chemistry.

The finished garment's manufacturing partner is named as GOTS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, with a GOTS certificate number and two OEKO-TEX certificate numbers published.

We queried the complete CPSC recall database, 10,000+ records spanning 1973-2026, with a control confirming the relevant product classes are covered. The brand appears nowhere in that registry.

The Portugal manufacturing partner's GOTS certificate (CU855125GOTS-2019-00024374) and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificates (10627CIT, 10629CIT) are named directly, alongside the India partner's GOTS license and Fairtrade FLO ID.

We found a statement that softening is done by carbon brushing rather than chemical treatment, but no explicit declaration that the sweater carries no wrinkle-resistant, stain-resistant or water-repellent finish.

Care guidance recommends cold water, hand wash or delicate cycle, and natural plant-based detergents, but no instruction to pre-wash before first wear is given anywhere.

The Simple Folk names the factory behind its garments, with that factory's GOTS licence number, and publishes a traceability page that follows the cotton back to named farms and notes where certification is still in progress. Some garments give a country of manufacture that conflicts with the factory named for them, and no warranty or repair route is published.

This sweater has no snaps, buttons, zips or printed graphics described anywhere, and nothing is published on hardware or print chemistry for this garment.
