Newborn Kit - 'Snowflake' print, 100% Organic Pima Cotton
100% Organic Peruvian Pima Cotton
Pima cotton is a species of cotton plant known to grow extra-long staples, or (ELS). This means that the plants normally grow about twice the length of ordinary cotton.
The longer staple fibers provide a row of benefits, resulting in a super soft and silky fabric with a beautiful luster.
Our organic Pima cotton is grown along the northern coast of Peru where the soil is rich and ideal temperatures enable the plants to soak up all of the moisture needed to provide the perfect source material for a clothing that both looks—and feels—luxurious.
Durability
Pima cotton is highly durable, and is much more resistant to tearing and pilling than ordinary cotton. The staple fibers retain colors much better, and don’t produce any lint. This means that fabrics and garments made of Pima cotton age more slowly, and last a lot longer, making it a far more sustainable choice when producing and consuming clothes.
