Swiss Cotton: The Swiss tradition in every thread.

swiss+cotton combines the best of nature with sustainable material innovations in premium Swiss quality. The result: products of the utmost Swiss quality.

Supima® cotton

The swiss+cotton quality label guarantees that only the best premium cotton is used. In concrete terms, this means that out of all the cotton produced in the entire world, only grades with extra-long fibres can be used. This selectiveness and the gentle harvesting technique give swiss+cotton material the best possible processing characteristics. Compared to average-grade cotton, it is 40 per cent more durable and easier to care for. Quality you can feel.

Products made from swiss+cotton are especially fine, exquisite, smooth and soft. You've got to feel it for yourself!

What makes swiss+cotton so special?

  • Threads made of extra-long staple cotton (fibre lengths from 35.7 mm)

  • Fine, smooth, soft feel

  • Exquisite, silky-matte finish

  • At least 67% of the production value is added in Switzerland

  • Cotton content in the fabric: at least 75%

Stefan Kehrer - Material Management

‘swiss+cotton already has an outstanding reputation: 67% of its value is generated in Switzerland. The extra-long staple Supima® cotton is extremely exclusive, as it only accounts for approximately three per cent of the global cotton harvest.’
