West Indian Sea Island Cotton Association of Brands

Sea Island cotton is only found in the British West Indies where the Caribbean climate is ideal for its growth. The fibres are picked by hand and processed in a traditional method; the result is an unmatchable soft touch and silky texture. With an average staple length of 50mm its fibres are 20 per cent. longer than any other type of fine cotton.

Of the approximately 110 million bales of cotton produced each year worldwide, around 2 million bales (or 1.8 per cent.) are of extra-long staple/fibre cotton varieties. Of this total, the annual production of Sea Island Cotton is just 130 bales. It is quite simply the rarest cotton in the world. A special hologram, guaranteeing the authenticity of the cotton, is usually included with Sea Island cotton products.
