The Denim Short Kids | Mineral Dyed

The shorts are disclosed as 100% organic cotton denim with elastane confined to the encased waistband, not against the skin, and made in India at a named, GOTS-certified facility.

These shorts have an encased elastic waistband and no buttons, snaps or ties, but no seam construction, stitching reinforcement or durability testing is published for them.

The mineral dyeing process used on this garment is described only for its visual effect; no azo-dye screening, OEKO-TEX dye certification, or test method specific to this denim's coloring is published, though OEKO-TEX certified dye houses are claimed for the brand's materials generally.

The GOTS licence and OEKO-TEX number published for this garment belong to its maker's facility, Vetrivel Tex, not to the garment itself, and that OEKO-TEX certificate has since expired.

We queried the complete CPSC recall database (10,047 records, 1973-2026) for this brand and found nothing filed against it in any role. A control check confirms the corpus covers comparable children's product classes, so the clean result reflects an actual absence, not a missed search.

This garment's maker, Vetrivel Tex in Tirupur, India, holds a GOTS licence that is current in the GOTS public database, but the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certificate given for the same maker, 23.HIN.75354, shows as expired in OEKO-TEX's label check and is still presented as current.

The denim's care instructions call only for cold machine wash and name no wrinkle-resistant, non-iron, or water/stain-repellent finish, and softness is achieved via carbon-brushing rather than a chemical finishing treatment. No explicit no-treatment declaration is made for this specific garment.

Specific denim care guidance (cold machine wash, turn inside out, wash with similar colors) is published for this garment, but no instruction to pre-wash before first use is given anywhere in the brand's care copy.

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 garment's dye is mineral-based earth pigment with no azo-dye screening or chemistry disclosure specific to it, and a review of a sibling denim item from this brand reports a button detaching straight out of the package, though this short has no buttons of its own.
