Label Text:This gown is entirely made from organic cotton denim. EDUN was founded by U2 front man Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, with the goal of offering a sustainably sourced option within the fashion industry. The principle sources of EDUN’s material were non-subsidized organic cotton farms in western and southern Africa. With cotton as its backbone, denim was an important textile for the label from the beginning.
