The brand

About The Hand Loom

The Hand Loom builds its Cotton Collection from 100% Turkish cotton designed for breathable comfort and everyday wear, and its Our Fabrics page names three fabric lines of organic cotton, TENCEL Luxe and TENCEL, all described as breathable, soft and drawn from nature.
Each The Hand Loom garment is hand-loomed with traditional craftsmanship by skilled artisan partners in remote villages of Turkey, using fabrics created exclusively for the brand. Slow production runs in small batches at ethical facilities, and The Hand Loom relies on deadstock and upcycled leftover fabric with recyclable packaging to produce less waste.
Sustainability sits at the centre of The Hand Loom, whose organic cotton uses 91% less water than traditional cotton, while over 99% of solvents and water are recovered and reused in TENCEL Luxe and nearly 99% of solvents are recycled in TENCEL.

What the label won’t tell you

The questions sensitive skin actually asks, answered

✓ 141 of 143 styles scanned, no sampling ✓ 72% plant · 28% synthetic ✓ PFAS-free (verified) ✓ read from the live product feed, not the marketing page
Are there hidden chemicals against my skin?

The Hand Loom is PFAS-free (verified). 141 of 143 styles scanned: zero PFAS, zero formaldehyde, dye process on record: Low-impact / GOTS-certified dyes

Is "sustainable" just greenwashing?

“Eco” and “green” have no legal meaning, and thousands of unverified claims flood the market. We scanned 143 styles from the store’s own product feed and publish a score only at full coverage. We read certificates, not adjectives.
And nothing is hidden: 2 were excluded. Every one is named in the sourcing ledger below.

Is "100% cotton"
actually
100% cotton?

Most “cotton” underwear hides elastane or spandex in the trims. We read the stated fibres on 141 of 143 styles, thread by thread: 72% plant, 28% synthetic.

Will the elastic bring me out in a rash?

Latex and rubber waistbands are a top trigger for contact eczema. Elastic check across the catalogue: No elastane.

Where's it really made,
and by whom?
Named farm and factory
GOTS chain of custodyTraceable back to the cotton

Traceability on record: Country only; factory: Turkey (remote villages). We publish the full sourcing chain and the honest red flags, including where sources conflict.

Am I shedding microplastics onto my body?

Synthetic underwear sheds plastic fibres onto your skin and into the water with every single wash. The Hand Loom is 28% synthetic, so yes. These styles shed. Wash cool, use a guppy bag, and favour the plant-fibre options in the range.

Sources: consumer research on formaldehyde in easy-care fabrics (~9% of people react), PFAS in water- and stain-resistant finishes, and hypoallergenic underwear for eczema and contact dermatitis.

Straight answers

Is The Hand Loom sustainable and ethical?+
MARK
Where is The Hand Loom made?+
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.
Who owns The Hand Loom?+
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.
Is The Hand Loom legit and worth it?+
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).
Is The Hand Loom fast fashion?+
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."
Is The Hand Loom non-toxic and safe for skin?+
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..
Is The Hand Loom certified?+
The Hand Loom does not publicly document a recognised textile certification such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX in the sources we checked.
What is The Hand Loom made of?+
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.

The Handloom (thehandloom.com) is an artisan-driven slow-fashion label whose garments are hand-loomed by local weavers in Turkey’s remote villages using 100% Turkish cotton (including an organic Turkish cotton line) and Tencel. It discloses country of origin (Turkey) and its handloom artisan model, but names no specific workshops, cotton farms, dye houses or organic-certification body, and publishes no supplier list. Note: this contradicts the brief’s assumption of Indian handloom cotton, as the brand’s published sourcing is Turkish.

⚑ Sourcing flags & notes: Published origin is Turkey, not India as the brief assumed; organic cotton claim not backed by a named certifier (e.g. GOTS); no named workshops or supplier list; dye process undisclosed

How it was read: Every product listed in The Hand Loom's live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually, from the The Hand Loom product page, The Hand Loom's own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage for The Hand Loom is published only when 100% of the The Hand Loom catalogue has been read. Items The Hand Loom sells that carry no clothing textile, such as gift cards, packaging, jewellery and homeware, are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
