More About Us
The Sourcing
Takasa is a proud BC Benefit Company, offering Fairtrade Cotton which is 100% GOTS certified, ensuring no harmful dyes or chemicals, alongside sustainable packaging as well as carbon neutrality.
The Sustainability
All of our packaging materials are FSC and/or SFI certified. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) forest management certification confirms that the forest is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability. Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) is a solutions-oriented sustainability organization that collaborates on forest-based conservation and community initiatives that demonstrate and enhance our shared quality of life, while providing supply chain assurances through standards, data and authentic stories.
The Spark
Our Takasa journey started with becoming parents and consciously making eco-lifestyle changes. As we looked deeper into industry, it became increasingly clear that industries such as textiles are in the midst of a deep moral and ethical crisis. We thought about cheap overseas labour that is continuously exploited under abysmal working conditions. We also read that traditional methods of manufacturing cotton consist of harmful insecticides and pesticides. So we made it our mission to make positive changes. Our vision was to create a brand that promotes environmental responsibility and to deliver goods and services that add value to people’s lives.
The Differentiator
With a passion for exceptionally high quality materials and socially conscious manufacturing processes, Takasa is focused on combining thoughtfully designed premium products for those who value beauty, durability and sustainability.
The Favorite
Our Takasa organic and Fairtrade Cotton bed sheet set in white is a favourite among our customers. It is healthier for your home and for the environment, with GOTS-certified fibres making your bed more welcoming – night and day. White is a staple colour and is a popular choice to create that hotel chic look.
The Motto
Comfort and luxury, meet ethical sustainability.
