We only use the highest quality fabrics: GOTS-certified cotton, Pima cotton and linen . Why? Because we are convinced that you should receive a product that you can enjoy for a long time. The fabrics and materials used were produced in Portugal and Italy.
We would like to tell you more about our fabrics and show you why Pima cotton is so high quality. If you have any questions, please let us know and get in touch.
The quality of cotton is influenced by many factors, including climate, soil conditions, weather conditions and the care taken when picking. The following characteristics are crucial:
The fiber length, also called staple, is the most important criterion for the quality of cotton. The longer and more uniform the fiber, the easier it is to spin. There are three quality categories:
✘ Long-staple cotton: With a length of 35-50 mm, including varieties such as the North American Sea Island (Gossypium barbadense) and the Egyptian Mako cotton.
✘ Staple lengths of 30-35 mm, for example Orleans cotton or varieties from South America.
Cotton is often grown in monocultures, which encourages the use of pesticides. To ensure consumer protection, the Bremen Cotton Exchange regularly tests for harmful substances such as formaldehyde. The increased cultivation of genetically modified cotton plants has made it possible to reduce the use of pesticides.
The purity of the cotton is another crucial feature. High-quality cotton contains hardly any residues of seeds or flower remains. Modern technologies ensure that very pure qualities can now be achieved even in previously problem areas. Natural colors such as cream white or gray also influence the quality assessment.

Cotton is grown in dry areas with artificial irrigation. After sowing in spring, the plant flowers and bears fruit after three months. The harvest is done partly by hand and partly by machine.
The most important regions are in North and South America, Egypt, India and Pakistan. The best qualities come from Egypt and the USA.
Cotton is a seed fiber and belongs to the mallow family (Gossypium). Of around 300 known varieties, three are particularly relevant:
✘ Gossypium herbarceum: Lower quality, grown in India and Pakistan.
✘ Gossypium hirsutum: Medium quality, grown in the USA and Brazil.
✘ Gossypium barbadense: Best quality, grown in Egypt and America.
The fiber structure of cotton, consisting of 94% cellulose, enables fine processing. It is robust, durable and ideal for all types of textiles.
Benefits of Cotton
✘ high tear resistance, especially when wet
✘ excellent absorbency and durability
✘ electrostatically neutral and heat-resistant
✘ easy to wash and iron.

This cotton originally comes from South America. What makes it so special are its extra-long and extra-fine fibers (ELS fibers = Extra Long Staple). With a fiber length of around 36 mm, it ensures that textiles wrinkle less, have a smoother surface and feel softer and more supple, but are still firm and full to the touch.
In summary, 100% linen offers unique, breathable comfort thanks to its exceptional cooling and freshness properties as well as its many other advantages.
Linen is a natural cellulose fiber obtained from the stems of the flax plant. It offers exceptional coolness and freshness, especially in warm weather, making it an ideal material for summer clothing and bedding.
100% linen has other advantages:
✘ Breathability
Linen fibers allow air to circulate well, which helps regulate body temperature and ensures a comfortable fit.
✘ Moisture absorption
Linen can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp. This ensures a dry and comfortable feeling on the skin, even in high humidity.
✘ Longevity
Linen is one of the strongest natural fibers and becomes even softer and more comfortable over time. It is very durable and resistant to wear and tear.
✘ Hypoallergen
Linen is hypoallergenic and therefore ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
✘ Environmental friendliness
Growing flax requires less water and pesticides than many other plants. In addition, flax is completely biodegradable.
✘ Elegant look
Linen has a natural texture and an elegant, slightly shiny look that becomes even more beautiful with time and use.
✘ Interlock: defined by a special type of embroidery in which both sides of the fabric look the same and the stitches point to the right. The fabrics consist of a thread laid in loops, with the loops intertwined. The way the fabric is processed ensures it is very durable and comfortable to wear. Interlock fabrics are very stretchy and are ideal for producing sustainable fashion.
✘ Brushed: Brushed refers to fabrics that are particularly soft to the touch. They have warming properties, which is why brushed fabrics are particularly suitable for the production of autumn and winter clothing. The soft and warm surface on the inside of the textile is created by rubbing the fabric yarn during the manufacturing process. This creates a slightly raised pile layer with a fine fluff.
✘ GOTS certified: G lobal O rganic T extile S tandard. This certification covers the entire supply chain from processing to trade. Certification is carried out by independent bodies and includes social criteria, ethical business conduct and responsible business practices.
