Why Supima Cotton Deserves a Place in Your Wardrobe
We are deeply committed to crafting garments that stand the test of time - not just in quality but also in relevance. A key ingredient in our pursuit of slow fashion and timeless design is our careful selection of materials. Among these, Supima cotton holds a special place.
What Is Supima Cotton?
Supima cotton is an ultra-premium variety of cotton grown exclusively in the United States. The name “Supima” is a licensed trademark that guarantees the fiber is 100% American Pima cotton and meets rigorous quality standards. What makes it exceptional is its extra-long staple fibers. This seemingly small difference has a big impact.
Why We Chose Supima
At CYME, every material we use is selected not only for its luxurious feel but also for its durability and minimal environmental impact. Supima aligns perfectly with our values:
-
Exceptional Softness: Thanks to its extra-long fibers, Supima is noticeably softer and smoother against the skin. It's the kind of comfort that doesn't fade with time.
-
Superior Strength: Supima cotton is much stronger than regular cotton, making garments more resistant to pilling, tearing, and fading. When we talk about buying less but better, this is exactly what we mean.
-
Responsible Choice: Although it constitutes less than 1% of all cotton grown globally, Supima is farmed with precision and sustainability in mind. Its rarity isn’t just a mark of luxury - it’s a testament to responsible cultivation.
-
Color Retention: Supima absorbs dye better than other cotton types, giving our garments a richer, longer-lasting color—one that reflects our dedication to craftsmanship and style.
At CYME, you’ll find Supima cotton in one of our bestselling shirts, crafted entirely from 100% Supima cotton.
Buy less, buy better. And feel the difference.
