While all cotton fibers possess notable softness and fluffiness, not all kinds of cotton are created equal. Peruvian Pima cotton is a luxurious natural fiber, highly valued in the global market, and held above all others in quality.

To Peruvians, the fiber was known as “gamuza,” which is Spanish for “suede.” Archaeologists have found Pima cotton fragments in Peru that date as far back as 3100 B.C. The Incas also cultivated and wove Pima cotton to great effect in both practical and artistic pursuits.

Most commercial cotton is harvested by machines, but these machines often lead to scratchy impurities, disturbing the fiber’s smoothness and creating an unattractive yellow cast. Peruvian Pima cotton is picked entirely by hand, which leads to fewer imperfections and a smoother finish. Handpicking also results in a pure white shade that takes beautifully to dyes. Harvesting by hand is also more environmentally friendly.

Pima cotton clothing feels luxurious on the skin while remaining light and breathable. It comes in a wide array of vibrant colors and is a versatile, long-lasting closet staple.
