Sea Island cotton is the origin of all extra-long staple cottons and the reigning top-quality cotton used to be cultivated in the Caribbean, but was discontinued in the early 20th century due to devastating insect damage.

A century has passed since then.

Thanks to modern agriculture, technological advances, and research into cultivation methods, Sea Island cotton has made a comeback in a limited area on the border between Texas and New Mexico in the United States. This "miracle cotton" was named "American Sea Island Cotton."

The border between Texas and New Mexico is the site of the revival of the cotton industry, provided an ideal environment for cotton cultivation.

In addition to the highest quality and appearance, our cotton is grown in consideration of the earth and social environment, so you can enjoy our products with peace of mind.
