Read MoreWe’ve been doing some deep thinking here at Bolt. Deep thinking about rayon/viscose. We’ve decided, because of environmental and ethical issues with the manufacture of rayon, to cut back on our rayon purchases. You might notice fewer rayon prints, both new and deadstock, available to purchase. We will still be purchasing some of our rayon “staples” - both Brussels Washer Solids and Yarn-Dyed as well as Rayon Linen Slub - because they are popular and inexpensive.
Read More**Starting Thursday, October 29th (Bolt’s 15th birthday!) we will be welcoming customers back into the store. Please read on for all the details.
We are so excited to welcome you back into the space! We have had to change the way we are used to doing things in the store for a number of reasons, but mainly in order to keep you and us safe. This is all new territory and we will adjust as we need to along the way. We can’t wait to see you and we hope this will offer some guidance and comfort for your shopping experience.

Most organic textiles are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which partners with organizations including Oregon Tilth and the Organic Trade Association for certification. GOTS certification includes both environmental and social criteria, and a general standard of at least 70% organic fibers (explained below).
