After fifteen wonderful years, we at Green Label Organic: Sustainable Threads will be closing our wholesale business, as well as our store in Floyd.
Green Label Organic has been a joyful adventure from the very start. We began with the hope of doing something positive for the planet and for the people of the community. Of course, we were also seeking a way to help sustain ourselves, so we decided to apply our unique skills to reach these goals.
Rain combined her knowledge of all things organic, her commitment to the environment, and her extraordinary business skills with my knowledge of the clothing and T-shirt industry. Together, we created a line of organic cotton clothing with positive messaging that was Made-in-America. We made it our company’s mission. As we like to say; we were “green” when green was still just a color! We began our company from an extra bedroom at home. Within two years, however, we had a 3,000 square-foot warehouse that was buzzing all day long.
Our green, organic, and made in America concept, combined with our graphic designs, rapidly took us to places we never imagined were possible.

We have sold nationally to Whole Foods Markets and REI Outfitters. We were even carried by a few branches of Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Dillard’s department stores. Over the years, we have sold to more than seven-hundred and fifty different retailers. And thanks to the internet, we had customers all over the world.
But now it’s time to retire. Not from life, but from the daily administration of running our business. We have grandchildren to love and places to see, and that will be our focus. We want to thank our thousands of customers, so many of whom have become our friends. We met you at trade shows, green festivals, and music events. We saw you every year in our store. We connected with you online from Seattle to Sweden.
Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for all the positive feedback and support you have given us for the past fifteen years. As we enter our final year of business, we will be offering tremendous bargains on our remaining inventory. Please come in to say hello and farewell, and perhaps pick up just one more of those super soft organic cotton T-shirts you have loved for so long. We look forward to seeing you and sharing our gratitude in person. As we say goodbye, we ask that you always Respect Labor, Respect the Planet, and Respect Yourself. That has been our company motto for these past fifteen years.
