Looking for clothing that feels like a big soft hug? Pima cotton is a high-end strain of cotton with a long fibre measuring between 1 1/2 to 2 inches in length. Conventional cotton fibres only measure up to 1 inch. Due to its extra-long length, Peruvian Pima cotton is one of the highest quality textiles in the world, and it is also one the softest.
The fibres of Pima cotton are extra long in length creating a thinner, stronger and smoother yarn. When the fibres are woven together they create a silky material that is extra durable and super soft.
As you wear and wash your Pima cotton clothing you will notice it even gets softer as it ages. Pima cotton is ideal for babies, pre-natal and postpartum mothers. It is also the best for those experiencing skin sensitivities, allergies and chronic pain as it feels very soft and gentle against the skin.

Pima cotton is primarily grown in limited quantities in three different areas, the southwestern regions of the US, Australia and Peru. It originated in Peru, but it gained its name after the Pima Indians who helped raise the cotton in the United States. Peruvian Pima cotton grows along the northern coastal valleys of Peru. Environmentally friendly hand-harvesting results in silky soft fibres which are free from scratchy impurities.
Unlike most commercial cotton, Peruvian Pima cotton is harvested entirely by hand to ensure that only the best quality is used. Not only is harvesting by hand more environmentally sound, it’s better for the cotton itself. Industrial harvesting tears the cotton fibres, giving it a yellowed hue and creating a scratchy texture that affect the smoothness of the final garment. Hand-picking comes with obvious benefits for the environment compared to machine-based harvesting, and the work is beneficial for the community as a source of local employment in these rural growing areas.
