Our Cotton

Egyptian cotton is the new white.

A hot desert climate and fertile soil, especially around the Nile, provide ideal conditions for growing precious cotton crops. The forces of Mother Nature come together to produce this rare, valuable commodity.

These conditions, together with Egyptian weaving methods passed down through generations, make it some of the best cotton in the world, thanks to the length of its fibres.

The quality of the resulting cotton fibre is assessed according to several criteria:

Size

The most important factor in determining quality is fibre length, which varies from one to four centimetres. The longer the fibre, the finer and silkier the cotton. Long fibres that are thin yet strong are easy to turn into yarn.

Absorbency

Cotton fibres are naturally absorbent. That is why cotton is so widely used in household linen: bath towels, facecloths, dressing gowns, bed linen and more.

Insulation

Cotton’s insulating properties trap warm air near the skin it touches, helping us keep warm.

Heat resistance

Cotton is naturally resistant to high temperatures.

Cotton’s magic

Once washed, leave your cotton towels or bed sheets to dry in the sun. The sun’s heat and light make cotton work its magic: the fibres open naturally, making them softer and fluffier to the touch.

Cotton has earned its reputation over the centuries thanks to its fine and incomparable quality, and also for these properties:

Hypoallergenic (very low allergenicity)
Excellent breathability: it lets the skin breathe efficiently
