The Gunold company has a long tradition focusing on small details that make a big difference to the final product and to the consumer. The understanding that small improvements have a big impact in the long run is firmly anchored in the Gunold DNA. Now, for the first time, the company is offering Cotty Bio, a sustainable cotton thread for embroidery and decorative seams made from pure organic cotton, thus mastering another important step within its sustainability strategy.

After all, like all new products that want to make it into Gunold’s comprehensive product range, the new Cotty Bio first had to overcome a high hurdle. “Everything has to be just right,” emphasizes marketing manager Stephan Gunold. “The cultivation, twisting and dying process of our new Cotty Bio is GOTS certified as well as Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. Twisted and dyed in Italy, the final makeup is then wound in Stockstadt. We will start with ten modern classic colors including a pastel pink and a washed-out denim blue.” For the colors, Gunold has been inspired by current as well as popular color trends and of course also offers traditional colors such as white, black, blue and green.
