Sometimes finding coordinated organic cotton bedding and pillows can be frustrating. The patterns are often fairly plain, and the colors lean more towards earth tones. Not so with Plover Organic’s linens!
Owners Marisa Kula Mercer, Sheila Mulvihill and Julia Wilbur, have cooked up a cornicopia of lovely, coordinating patterns to mix and match.
Founded in 2007, Plover Organic’s line is manufactured in India, in strict compliance with the Republic of India’s labor standards, as well as with Fair Labor practices. All cotton is certified according to the standards of the Organic Trade Association (OTA) in the United States, and by those of IFOAM and SKAL internationally. The dyes are all low-impact and fiber reactive, and all dye material is reclaimed so as not to be released into rivers or soil.
While the prints are fun and fresh, the pattern influence of East Indian block printing is easily seen. In fact, Plover’s textiles ARE block-printed – by hand – so color and print variations sometimes occur. I personally think that makes the prints even more appealing.
And for those looking for baby linens that are colorful and charming, in a very un-twee way, Plover Organics has those too!
Plover Organics can be found at many green retailers throughout the United States and Canada – check here for a list. They can also be ordered online through EdenHome.com and Livingreen.com
