The Hand Loom fibre breakdown, read to the Throne Standard:

These figures come from the 97.2% of The Hand Loom’s 143-product catalogue that has been read. The remaining 4 products (2.8%) publish no fibre composition anywhere we can read, so they are counted in the catalogue total but sit outside the percentages above, and are listed in full below.

About The Hand Loom

MARK
The Hand Loom’s garments are made in Turkey. Fabric is hand-loomed by artisan “loomer” groups in remote Turkish villages, and garments are sewn by a woman-owned tailor group in Turkey (the founder cites roughly 10 female tailors and five loomer groups). The company is headquartered/administered from Los Angeles and Istanbul.
The Hand Loom (styled “The Handloom” on its own site, thehandloom.com) is an independent, woman-owned brand founded and owned by Cansu Cansever, a Turkish-born, self-taught designer based in Los Angeles, California. It has no parent company. LinkedIn lists the company as founded in 2014, consistent with the founder’s account (in a Faire maker spotlight) of running the brand single-handedly “for the first four years” from her home and garage. The brand operates between Los Angeles, California and Istanbul, Turkey.
The Hand Loom is a real, currently-trading business. Its website (thehandloom.com) is an active e-commerce store with live products, working cart/checkout, and displayed prices (roughly $124-$240 for featured garments as of July 2026). The brand and its founder are documented across independent sources (LinkedIn company page, ZoomInfo, Jetset Times interview, Faire maker spotlight).
The Hand Loom is a slow, small-batch brand, not fast fashion. It states it “takes a mindful and slow approach to design, producing only what is needed,” produces “in small batches with ethical facilities,” and reduces waste using deadstock and upcycled leftover fabric. Garments are hand-loomed rather than mass-produced, and the brand explicitly says its collection “is not designed to be consumed at the same rate as fast fashion.”
Certifications: The Hand Loom names only one third-party certification on its own website: GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) for its organic cotton, per its “Our Fabrics” page (“Certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)”). This is a self-stated claim on the brand’s site; it was not independently confirmed against the GOTS certified-supplier database in this research. No OEKO-TEX, Fair Trade, B Corp, or European Flax certification is claimed or found. Not publicly documented whether the GOTS certification is held by The Hand Loom directly or by its fabric supplier..
The Hand Loom does not publicly document a recognised textile certification such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX in the sources we checked. What we can confirm is the material itself: our scan of 141 The Hand Loom styles found 71.6% is 100% plant fibre, so The Hand Loom’s natural-fibre standing rests on its composition rather than a certificate.
The most common fibres in the The Hand Loom styles we read were cotton and bamboo. That composition is the measurable fact behind what The Hand Loom is made of, so check the specific The Hand Loom label for any individual piece.
How we scan. Every figure on this page comes from the Throne Standard scan: we read the fibre composition off each live product on the brand’s own site, style by style, and count only single-fibre plant cloth (cotton, linen, hemp) as natural. Animal fibres such as wool, silk and cashmere and plastic-based synthetics such as polyester, nylon and elastane sit outside the plant-fibre figure, and regenerated fibres such as viscose, bamboo, modal and Tencel are counted as semi-synthetic. Percentages are calculated over the styles that state a composition; anything unlabelled is shown separately.
