About our collections

Where are your products made?

Our products are designed in the UK and manufactured in Portugal.

How do I know your products are safe and meet testing standards?

First Chapter only uses trusted manufacturers to carefully produce our beautiful collections. We only work with GOTS Certified and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 factories that follow the relevant safety, environmental and quality control procedures. All our materials are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified – which means we follow stringent requirements for both environmental and human safety, and we limit the use of synthetic and regenerated fibres.

What materials do you use?

100% GOTS certified Organic Cotton

Gifting services

Do you offer Gift Wrapping?

Every First Chapter product is delicately wrapped in tissue paper, bound with ribbon and cocooned in a branded Kraft box.

But if you’d like to make your delivery even more magical?

You can add an organic cotton, ribbon-tied gift bag and a coordinating illustrated greetings card. Ask us to write a message for you, if you’d like to send it directly to your recipient; we’ll give you the option at the checkout.
