What is your knitwear made from?

Our pieces are made from natural fibers — primarily GOTS certified organic cotton for swimwear, with other natural materials like alpaca used across our collection. We use eco-friendly elastics and natural dyes. Zero nylon, zero polyester, zero spandex.

What swimsuit material is best for sensitive skin?

Organic cotton is one of the safest materials for people with sensitive skin. It is naturally gentle, breathable, and free from synthetic chemicals. Kaylyn Gardner Knitwear uses GOTS certified organic cotton with natural dyes and eco-friendly elastics.

Can swimsuit fabric cause allergic reactions?

Yes. Most swimsuits contain nylon, polyester, spandex, and synthetic dyes that can cause reactions in people with textile sensitivities. Natural fiber knitwear with natural dyes eliminates these common irritants.

Where is Kaylyn Gardner Knitwear made?

Every piece is made in New York. No overseas factories. Each item is fully fashioned — knit to shape with zero material waste — and produced in small batches.

Can you swim in organic cotton?

Yes. Organic cotton knit swimwear is designed for swimming, sunbathing, and beach activities. The knit construction provides natural stretch and moves with your body in water. It is significantly gentler on skin than synthetic swimwear.

What is GOTS certified organic cotton?

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world's leading certification for organic textiles. It verifies that cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, processed without harmful chemicals, and meets strict environmental and social criteria.
