+ Organic Cotton
We work exclusively with 100% Organic Pima cotton — native to Peru and known for its exceptional softness, long staple length, and biodegradable nature. Pima cotton has been cultivated in this land for over a thousand years. We work with Bergman Rivera — a family-owned company growing organic native cotton in Peru since 2014. Every bale is traceable. Every harvest, known.
The certifications provided for this cotton are the following: European Union Organic Agriculture, GOTS, World Fair Trade Organization, USDA Organic.
Dyeing fabric is not a neutral act. The process uses synthetic chemicals — many of which remain in the fiber long after production ends. That fiber then rests against skin for hours, every day, every night. We skip this process entirely. Not as a trend. Not as an aesthetic choice. Because the skin absorbs what it touches — and we want what it touches to be worth absorbing. Our palette comes from the cotton itself: cream, off-white, the natural tones of a fiber that has never been altered.
Grown in Peru. Ginned in Peru. Knitted in Peru. The supply chain never leaves the origin — because the origin is the point. When the fiber stays close to its source, something is preserved. A quality the skin recognizes.
We use fully-fashioned knitting — a technique that shapes each piece directly on the machine, producing no cutting waste. The garment is knitted whole. Nothing is cut away. Nothing is wasted.
