Blended fibers take on properties of the joining counterparts to achieve uniquely desirable characteristics.

Cotton is a natural plant fiber that is favored for its softness, breathability and comfort. It grows in warm climates on 6 continents. High quality cotton is easy to care for, due to its ability to withstand washing, detergents and heat.

Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.
