Fabrics That Last

The Signature Only by A.M collection features some of the most high-quality fabrics out there. We thought we’d highlight each of these fabrics and explore what makes them unique.

Organic cotton

You’ve heard of organic apples, lettuce, and avocados, but what is the deal with organic cotton and why is it important l if you’re not ingesting it?! Well, the big deal has to do with how conventional cotton is cultivated and processed. You may want to sit down for these glaring facts:

- Conventional cotton is one of the most pesticide-intensive crops in the world

- Conventional cotton is one of the most watering-intensive crops in the world

These two facts alone point to the innumerable devastating consequences of growing cotton. From an environmental, social, and health stand-point, the cultivation of conventional cotton continues to pose harm which we must address.

This is where organic cotton comes in! Organic cotton is grown in a way that ensures the lowest environmental impact possible. Meaning, organic cotton is grown without the excessive use of pesticides and with significantly less water. Furthermore, farms that grow organic cotton are held to the strictest standards and regulations set and monitored by the US government and other certification entities.

You can feel good about buying organic cotton!

Merino Wool

We all know where wool comes from, the fluffiest, most cutest sheep. So when we first learned about Merino wool, we were definitely worried about the well being of these even fluffier sheep, the Merino. Fortunately, Australia, home to the Merino sheep, has some of the strictest laws when it comes to animal welfare and is continuously investing in research to provide the best care for these sheep.

So what makes Merino Wool special?

- Merino wool is biodegradable and natural

- Merino wool helps maintain body temperature

- Merino wool is softer than conventional wool

If you like staying cozy at all times, Merino wool is the fabric to look out for!

Supima cotton

Supima cotton is a subset of Pima cotton. Supima is particularly luxury cotton that grows in certain regions of North America. You may not have heard of it and that is because it makes up less than 1% of the cotton grown in the world. So what do we love about this rare cotton? Supima cotton fibers are much longer than conventional cotton which causes it to have magical qualities:

- Super soft

- Very strong

- Vivid color when dyed

In addition to its sheer brilliance, Supima cotton farms use innovative technology to counteract the wastefulness and toxicity of conventional cotton cultivation.

Supima stands for Superior Pima, and it truly is something special!
