As pioneers of well-being, we select only the highest quality raw materials. Sea Island Cotton—also known as white gold—offers the ultimate sense of well-being. Learn more about this rare cotton here:
1) Sea Island cotton originates in the West Indies, a group of islands in the Caribbean. Where others spend their vacations, this is also the home of cotton. The heavy rains provide irrigation and the minimal temperature differences between day and night create the ideal climate.
2) 110 million cotton bales are produced worldwide annually. Only 70 of these bales come from Barbados, and these are now exclusively harvested for the new Zimmerli Switzerland collection.
3) Sea Island Cotton is carefully hand-picked. This ensures that only ripe cotton plants are collected and that any plant or mineral contamination, which can occur during mechanical harvesting, is completely prevented. This also enhances the appearance of the final products.
4) Our partners cultivate their own local plantations in collaboration with ECCI Cotton, involving local cotton farmers. The entire value chain is integrated, ensuring consistent and high quality.
5) You can recognize the 100% authenticity of Sea Island Cotton by the hologram. Only the numbered certificate from the specialized West Indian Sea Island Cotton Association (WISICA) guarantees the 100% authenticity of Sea Island Cotton.
