PIMA cotton Anonym Apparel
The endemic Peruvian Pima cotton, nicknamed “the Silk of the Andes”, has been cultivated in the Piura region, for more than 4,000 years, in the north of the country.
Why is it a luxury cotton?
Sun, water, fertile land and a perfect climate… Peruvian Pima cotton requires all these EXCEPTIONAL NATURAL CONDITIONS to be cultivated.
In the Piura region there is PLANTED AND HARVESTED BY HAND, WITHOUT PESTICIDES OR FERTILIZERS… extra luxury!
From its small Latin name Gossypium barbedense, it represents only 3% OF WORLD COTTON PRODUCTION, which makes it a RARE PRODUCT.
Let's not talk (finally if!) about his RESISTANCE (92 to 100 presley), of his EXTREME FINESSE (between 3 and 4 microns), its EXTRA-LONG SILKY FIBER between 30 and 40 mm (against 20 to 29 mm for standard cotton) and finally its natural color of a bright white.
