Papyrus jersey range: the excellence of natural, undyed organic cotton
The desire to offer the best materials both for the wearer and for the planet is the fundamental principle on which the entire ethics of RISU.RISU are based.
What better way to help achieve this goal than to use undyed organic cotton jersey or fleece?

1- The Papyrus range, or the most natural cotton possible
.
In its natural state, cotton, or to be more precise, the cotton flower, exists in several colors ranging from ecru to caramel, including almond green.
Contrary to what one might believe, white is not found in nature and is in fact a distinct color that has undergone the same chemical process as any other color.
It is possible to simply knit with raw cotton yarn and obtain beautiful natural shades, most often cream. We deliberately chose to offer garments in this natural color, which we called papyrus (because it reminded us of the earliest papers from the time of the Egyptians, papers which were obviously not white).
The fabrics left undyed and simply used once knitted are as natural as possible; they have no dyes, only a few additions of lubricating or humidifiers to facilitate the mechanical process of knitting the yarns (agents authorized and controlled by the label to ensure their safety in the case of fabrics used by RISU.RISU).
With children currently developing more and more contact allergies or having increasingly sensitive skin, we are committed to offering them the maximum guarantees for clothing worn directly against the skin in particular.
These undyed cotton clothes are ideal for infants; this is our best recommendation for all newborns up to 6 months of age. Their skin is immature, and covering it with chemical-free cotton is as important as choosing the right infant formula.
No discharge of dyes of any kind into wastewater, no contamination of the soil once the garment has reached the end of its use, it is an ideal solution even if the world is more cheerful in colors, of course!

2- Jersey and papyrus fleece, best allies for the most sensitive skin
.
After months of fine-tuning with our French supplier Henitex, we have validated the production of the undyed jersey; we were looking for a natural color, certainly, but one that was pleasing, that is to say neither too white, nor too "dirty", without small grey impurities mixed with the fabric.
The Papyrus range was born!

- Papyrus jersey range
.
We pride ourselves on offering essential items in this undyed organic cotton papyrus jersey because we are deeply convinced of its benefits for the health of children and beyond. Double-sided, incredibly soft, and enhanced with a pointelle-style squirrel motif to hold the two cotton layers together, this jersey is more than enough on its own.
That's why you'll find in our range of essentials bodysuits, underwear, leggings... but also sleepwear because this cream color is magnificent, for example enhanced with a lace trim or a contrasting edge to liven up boys' pajamas.
The same concern for offering you natural products is evident in the fleece.

- Papyrus fleece range
.
Thick and soft inside (brushed fleece), this fleece offers a wonderful cocoon of softness that is all the more natural because it has not been dyed.
We offer a baby set in this papyrus fleece (trousers and a little kimono), as well as a dressing gown, enhanced with pretty embroidery, and sweatshirts. This beautiful fleece offers an attractive alternative to wool.
Creating clothes that are both truly fashionable while respecting both the health of those who wear them and the environment is an exciting challenge.
