Design

All Gossypium products are designed in house, when we design products we go through a process that we have invented , and that enable us to check that it is the products you want but also that ensure we are using the right material for this products. Our products are design to last as long as possible and we will go a very long way to ensure this .

Design It



Grow

The next step in the process is to ensure that we are using the right cotton. We spend a lot of time in India working closely with cotton farmers. This partnerships reduces the risk both for the farmer and ourselves as we able to make long terms planning and also because we are working outside the commodity market. Once the cotton is ready it is transported by road to the nearest Mill to be transformed into cotton yarn.

Make

Because we have designed the products ourselves and source the cotton ourselves it is easier to go on and make the products. It's a bit like cooking with the best ingredient our having a take away. Being in India or in England we only work with factories that we have personally visited and where we feel satisfied by the quality of the work they produce and very importantly their level of transparency. For us transparency is more important than any certification.
