Our Product Story
Cotton is cool, soft, comfortable and the principal clothing fiber of the world. Its production is one of the major factors in world prosperity and economic stability.
One of the oldest textile fibers known to man, silk has been used by the Chinese since the 27th century BC. Silk, mentioned by Aristotle, became a valuable commodity in both Greece and Rome. In fact, during the Roman Empire, silk sold for its weight in gold. Today, silk remains another word for elegance, and silk garments are prized for their versatility, wearability and comfort.
Everybody's favorite luxury, cashmere comes from the downy fibers of the Kasmir goat, most often found in Mongolia. The soft hair is woven or knitted into fine garments and can also be blended with silk, cotton, or wool. Since one sweater typically requires the fleece from 4 to 6 animals, cashmere tends to be expensive. Separation of the soft fibers from the long, coarse hair is tedious and difficult, which also contributes to the fabric's expense.
