What is Egyptian cotton? 

Egyptian cotton is a plant grown exclusively in Egypt in the Nile Delta, where the combination of fertile soil and a unique climate creates perfect conditions for the Gossypium Barbadense variety to thrive. This specific climate allows the plant to grow more slowly, resulting in exceptionally fine and long fibers. Egyptian cotton is widely known for its superior quality and is considered the most luxurious cotton in the world.

Why is it so special?

Fabrics made from Egyptian cotton are crafted from exceptionally fine and long fibers of the plant, making it incredibly soft, with a delicate finish and lasting durability. To preserve the quality of the fibers, Egyptian cotton is harvested by hand rather than by machines. This careful harvesting process ensures that the fibers remain intact, contributing to the fabric's exceptional softness and longevity. The long fibers make the fabric more resistant to wear and tear, while its breathability and moisture-absorbing properties provide unmatched comfort.

How is Egyptian cotton different from regular cotton?

Egyptian cotton differs from regular cotton in several key aspects:

  • Softness: Thanks to its fine fibers, Egyptian cotton is extremely soft and silky to the touch.
  • Durability: Fabrics made from Egyptian cotton are longer-lasting and more resistant to wear and tear.
  • Evenness: The surface of the fabric is smooth and uniform, with no irregularities.
  • Moisture absorption: It absorbs moisture better, contributing to comfort and freshness.
  • Longevity: The long fibers make the fabric more durable and less prone to fraying.
  • Breathability: It maintains optimal body temperature, making it ideal for all seasons.

Is all Egyptian cotton top-quality?

Not all Egyptian cotton is of premium quality. Just because it’s grown in Egypt doesn’t automatically mean it’s top-tier. The quality depends on various factors, including the type of weave and the length of the fibers. Some yarns are faster and cheaper to produce, but that doesn’t make them better. High-quality Egyptian cotton is combed before weaving to remove shorter, rougher fibers, resulting in a luxurious and smooth fabric.

How to recognize high-quality Egyptian cotton?
To identify quality Egyptian cotton, pay attention to a few key factors:

  • Fiber length: Fabrics made from long-staple or extra-long-staple fibers are of higher quality.
  • Quality labeling: Look for labels such as Giza 86, Giza 89, Giza 90 (long fibers) or Giza 45, Giza 70, Giza 87, Giza 88, Giza 92 (extra-long fibers).
  • Combing process: High-quality Egyptian cotton is combed before weaving to remove shorter and rougher fibers.

What are the types of Egyptian cotton?
Egyptian cotton is categorized based on fiber length:

  • Long fibers: Giza 86, Giza 89, and Giza 90
  • Extra-long fibers: Giza 45, Giza 70, Giza 87, Giza 88, Giza 92
