Definition of cotton

Cotton is a natural textile fiber among the most popular in the world. It is a cellulose-based fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of the mature cotton plant.

Fresh, soft, comfortable, easy and versatile, cotton is ideal for the creation of every category of clothes.

Characteristics of cotton

Thanks to its hypoallergenic, antibacterial and breathable qualities, cotton gives to your skin a pleasant feeling of freshness and wellbeing. It is the perfect fabric for skirts, dresses, trousers, jackets and light coats.
It can be soft or crisp, elegant or casual, warm or cool. It is usually easier to sew than other fabrics, such as silk.
