Organic cotton
Organic cotton is grown with organic production systems and with products that have a low impact on the environment. To be defined as “organic”, a cotton must come from organic plantations that meet the following requirements:
1. The cultivated land has produced exclusively organic products for the previous three years;
2. The seed is GMO-free;
3. Chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides are not used;
4. The defoliation is natural.
Supima controlla e certifica la provenienza di ogni filato con il marchio Supima®.
Verified by Oritain certifica che i filati siano scientificamente tracciati attraverso un accurato processo basato sulla scienza forense. Ciò consente di tracciare l’origine del cotone e tutte le fasi del processo di produzione.
Supima®
Supima® is an Extra-Long Staple cotton known for its white, long and fine fibres. It is grown mainly in California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. Its distinguishing characteristics are the absence of fibre pollution, due to mechanical harvesting, and a remarkable resistance to pilling.
ICA selects only the best American Supima® cotton with characteristics of length (36 mm), resistance and fineness (3.8 Micronaire) above the standard.

Giza 45
Giza 45 is considered as the best amongst the Egyptian Extra-Long Staple cottons. Exceptional for the length, fineness and strength of its fibres, it is ideal for achieving superfine yarn counts.
The fibres of Giza 45 cotton have a very long length (35 mm), with a uniformity index of 88.5% combined with an exceptional fineness, on average 2.9 Micronaire. From this combination, very high-quality yarns are obtained, which are extraordinarily fine, uniform and resistant.
Giza 87
Giza 87 is an Egyptian Extra-Long Staple cotton, that is particularly known for the brilliance and resistance of its fibres that make it one of the most exclusive cottons in the world.
Giza 87 has unique characteristics: the fibre length and uniformity are remarkable (35 mm, with a uniformity index of 87.3%), while the strength is very high (44.60 g/tex). Its degree of brilliance, equal to 74.8 Rd, is among the highest of the Egyptian Extra-Long Staple cottons.
SEA ISLAND
The West Indian Sea Island is one of the oldest, rarest and most precious varieties of cotton in the world, discovered in the early 18th century in the British West Indies.
It stands out from all other cotton species for its distinctive characteristics, such as the extraordinary length (37 mm), fineness (2.8 Micronaire) and strength of its fibre, the excellent percentage of uniformity (86%) and the remarkable brightness.
