This plant has existed since ancient, almost even prehistoric times although no one really knows how long cotton has been used for textile production. Like most plants, cotton comes from a large family of different types. There is cotton that comes from America, Africa, Asia and cotton that comes from the West Indies. Hybrid types of cotton exist as well. The different 'feels' of cotton exist because of the length of the cotton fibers; the longer the fibers are the softer and better the cotton is. Why the majority of our fabrics are made with Egyptian Cotton? Most people know that Egyptian cotton is synonymous of quality and is widely regarded as the best form of cotton fiber in the world. Egyptian cotton comes from where its name suggests, Egypt. The humid conditions and rich soil in this country along the Nile River Valley create the perfect conditions to grow long cotton fibers (also known as staples). Fabrics made with this quality are softer, finer and last longer than any other cotton in the world. Egyptian cotton’s winning characteristics are due to its long staple. Quite simply, the long fibers make it possible to produce finer, yet stronger yarn which can be woven into any number of thread counts, and which can be finished with a superior handle and drape. It is more breathable and becomes softer over time with use. Another property of Egyptian cotton that makes it high quality is its ability to absorb liquid. This ability allows it soak in dyes that give the final product very vibrant color that lasts longer than some other cotton products. An additional benefit of Egyptian cotton is that it is an environmentally-friendly textile. It is picked by hand, a process which is very gentle on the plant fibers as well as the low use of pesticides. The Giza Option GIZA is one of the highest qualities of all the varieties of Egyptian cottons. GIZA is our Egyptian cotton of choice for our top fabrics.
