Intl-Palladium Cotton-Slate

Cambric Cotton, a luxurious extra-long staple (ELS) cotton variety, is classified among the finest of fabrics owing to its fibre length, uniformity, color, and a range of other determinants of quality. Interestingly, its cultivation was first advocated by a Frenchman - Louis Alexis Jumel - who discovered a languishing cotton plant in a Cairo garden in the 1850s. The chaos of the American Civil War drove desperate European mill owners to buy cambric Cotton as they scrambled to keep their Lancashire mills turning. Prices rose across the worldwide market and the reputation of Cambric Cotton as a global luxury fabric was secured. Today, Cambric Cotton has treasured the world over for its fine texture, breathability, and strength. FABRIC CARE / PRECAUTIONS Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 30ºC.
