Why Buy Egyptian Cotton?
Like anything else, the finest quality can only truly be achieved when made from the finest quality materials. The quality of the cotton depends on the length of the fibers, known as staples. The longer the staple – the better the cotton. The cotton is then carded to remove dirt and short fibers. However a process called combing is far more meticulous and will remove up to 15% of the fibers. This combing process will leave only the longest staples, ready for spinning and weaving into the strongest and finest fabric. The result is a fabric which is softer and more sumptuous than any other.

More than that, we only use cotton, grown on the Nile Delta. This is because today “Egyptian” cotton is produced in other countries, and although it complies with the standards, it does not have the same growing conditions and is often harvested mechanically.
