In an age of disposable fashion, we want you to wear one of our garments for over a decade and still love it as much as the day you bought it. That’s exactly what many of our customers tell us: “I still have your T-shirt from 10 years ago, and it’s as good as new!”
This enduring quality isn’t a coincidence – it’s the result of using the finest organic cotton and thoughtful craftsmanship. In this blog, we’ll uncover why our fabrics can last a lifetime, offering unparalleled comfort and durability.
The softness and strength of our textiles begin with the exceptional properties of the cotton we use. Grown organically and regeneratively, our cotton fibers are cultivated with care, free from harmful chemicals, ensuring their natural purity. But what truly sets our textiles apart is the meticulous attention to detail in processing, particularly the extra step of combing the fibers.
The Fiber Properties: A Strong Foundation
The quality of cotton fabric is heavily influenced by the length, strength, and uniformity of the fibers. Our cotton varieties are specially selected for superior fiber quality: Egyptian Giza varieties that can range an exceptional 3.2 to 5 cm in length, Turkish long-fiber Aegean cotton with high absorbency, and native Colorgrown Upland cotton in Brazil. The plants are cultivated organically and the fiber is processed without chemicals. This means our fabrics are not only durable but also gentle on the skin, making them ideal for people with sensitivities or allergies.
The Extra Step: Combing the Cotton
To elevate the quality even further, we include a combing process in our production. Combing is a technique that removes shorter fibers and impurities from the cotton, leaving only the longest, most uniform fibers. This step results in a smoother, stronger yarn that creates fabrics with superior softness and durability. The result? Textiles that feel luxurious to the touch, resist pilling and maintain their shape over time.
Why This Matters
Premium raw cotton and advanced processing ensures that OCC fabrics are both top quality and sustainable. Whether used in garments or home goods, our fabrics provide a unique balance of comfort, resilience, and eco-consciousness. By choosing OCC, you’re not only supporting sustainable agriculture but also investing in products that stand the test of time.
