Maxomorra began in the small town of Älmhult, Sweden, in 2008. The idea of the founder, Johan Ström and his wife, was to make colourful, fun, sustainable and affordable children’s clothing. The idea from the start was to use only organic cotton, as well as ecological and socially responsible production. All their cotton clothes, except the velour, are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). The standard is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. For those products that contains not only cotton, like velour, they use the Organic Content Standard (OCS). This standard, developed by the Textile Exchange organization, relies on a third-party verification to validate that the final product contains the accurate amount of a given organically grown material.
