GUALALA, CALI F. - Fabric designer Harmony Art, based here, and online fabric retailer Organic Cotton Plus have become certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which requires the use of organic fiber while prohibiting the use of toxic finishing agents as well as child labor.
     Organic Cotton Plus, based in Ridgefield, Conn., was acquired in 2010 by Fox-Rich Textiles, Haromny Art's fabric supplier. In 2005, Harmony Art shifted its focus to designing only for organically grown cotton. The two companies supply hundreds of companies in North America and overseas.
     "We have sourced and designed high-quality, attractive GOTS-certified fabric since it became available in 2007," said Harmony Susalla, Harmony Art owner/designer.
