COTTON

Cotton is the single most popular fabric purchased by American consumers today. Cotton’s popularity stems from the fiber’s inherent benefits, such as tactile comfort (that is, a sensation of softness when touching cotton fabric), and an unsurpassed ability to accept and retain color. Cotton is a seasonless fiber – cool in the summer, insulating in the winter. It “breathes” and therefore keeps body moisture away from the skin. It launders beautifully. The types of cotton are named after the region in which they were first grown, but are now grown all over the world.

• AEGEAN – grown in Turkey by the Aegean Sea. This long staple cotton is renowned for its superior absorbency, soft feel, and pure white color. Aegean Cotton is handpicked by local farmers to ensure high
  quality and purity
• EGYPTIAN – has a longer staple than the most other varieties. It can be spun into finer texture thread and woven into a softer, more lustrous fabric.
• SUPIMA – Only the finest, most luxurious cotton grown in the world can call itself “Supima” cotton…and
  the Supima organization was put in place to ensure that the term maintains its exclusive status. American cotton producers from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas founded Supima – short for “superior pima” – in 1954, as a way to differentiate American pima cotton from conventional upland cotton. Pima cotton is an
  American version of Egyptian cotton.

BAMBOO

A group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family. Bamboo fabric is very soft without any chemical treatment. Textiles made of bamboo have natural antibacterial, antifungal and odor resistant properties, even after multiple washings. And because it grows so quickly, bamboo is an easily renewable resource. Bamboo uses less water to grow and requires minimal pesticides, as it is naturally pest resistant.

LINEN

Linen is spun and woven from flax, and therefore has several advantages over cotton. Its cooling effect makes it ideal for summer. Linen sheets grow softer and more precious with time and care. These extremely durable sheets can last 20 years or more.

MICROMODAL

Wonderfully soft, light and airy fabric made from beech wood cellulose.

SILK

A fine continuous protein fiber produced by various insect larvae usually for cocoons: a lustrous tough elastic fiber produced by silkworms and used for textiles: thread, yarn, or fabric made from silk filaments.
