PIMA KNITWEAR

Understanding Pima Cotton

Pima cotton is considered one of the finest cotton fibers in the world.

Grown in specific high-altitude regions of Peru, its fibers are longer, stronger and more refined than standard cotton.

This results in a fabric that feels noticeably different from the first touch.

A different kind of cotton

Unlike regular cotton, Pima develops:

  • A smoother surface
  • A richer, more fluid drape
  • Higher resistance to pilling
  • Greater durability over time
  • The knit has weight and presence, while remaining soft and breathable.

How it evolves

Pima cotton improves with time.

With proper care, the fabric:

  • Becomes softer
  • Adapts to the body
  • Maintains its structure

It does not lose quality — it matures.

Why it matters

Understanding Pima helps position the product correctly:

This is not a seasonal cotton piece.
It is a long-term garment with depth, structure and evolution.
