Italian cotton, an all-Italian story.
We reported the cultivation of cotton in Sicily following the methods of organic farming to make a capsule entirely Made in Italy and traced along the entire chain.
An all-Italian story, made up of the recovery of know-how intimately connected to the territory, of the forgotten link between the agricultural and textile sectors in Italy, and of a more responsible type of cultivation towards the planet and people.

The values of the project
Love for the territory
We have rediscovered the cotton agricultural chain in our country, offering a product traced from the seed to the packaged item.
Quality of raw material
The fiber makes the difference: it is its length that determines the high quality, from strength, to softness, preserved thanks to drying in naturally ventilated greenhouses, as an alternative to mechanical.
Respect for the environment
Adhering to organic farming methods, which eliminates pesticides and chemical fertilizers, means preserving soil richness, reducing water consumption by up to 91%.
