Sustainability: When it comes to natural fibers, the longer the staple, the softer the feel. Unlike most commercial cotton, Peruvian Cotton is actually harvested entirely by hand. It is also drought tolerant, meaning it uses 50% LESS water to grow. This allows for an exceptionally long staple and makes the end product soft, durable, and resistant to pilling. Because of this durability, garments made of Peruvian Cotton will naturally have a longer lifespan. That means you’ll be keeping them in your closet (and out of a landfill).

Product's Environmental Impact:

B | Moderate
Incorporates renewable materials or low-impact practices but lacks complete traceability or full optimization in sourcing and production.

Landfill time: Cotton Portion: Biodegradable within ~3–12 months.

Modal & Rayon Portions: Biodegradable within ~4–8 months under optimal conditions, but slower in low-oxygen environments.

Synthetic Portion (Spandex/Nylon/Polyester/Acrylic): 20–200 years, depending on soil oxygen levels.

What We Love:

• Local ""seed-to-garment"" approach significantly reduces carbon footprint.
• Fabric scraps from cutting are bundled and re-purposed into mops, rags, and mattress fillers, ensuring a circular supply chain.
• Naturally soft, breathable, and biodegradable (cotton portion).
• Synthetic content like spandex and polyester provides structure, stretch, and durability

What We Don't Love:

• Conventional cotton requires more water and may involve synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
• Not drought tolerant like Pima cotton.
• Synthetic components (spandex, polyester, nylon, acrylic) do not biodegrade and may take centuries to break down.
• Modal and rayon, while semi-synthetic, are often produced using resource-intensive chemical processes and may lack pulp traceability.
• Blended fibers are difficult to recycle and extend landfill lifetimes, reducing circularity.
