Italian cotton, an all-Italian story.
We reported the cultivation of cotton in Sicily following the methods of organic farming to make a capsule entirely Made in Italy and traced along the entire chain.
An all-Italian story, made up of the recovery of know-how intimately connected to the territory, of the forgotten link between the agricultural and textile sectors in Italy, and of a more responsible type of cultivation towards the planet and people.

The values of the project
Love for the local area
We have rediscovered the agricultural cotton supply chain in our country, offering a product that is traceable from sowing to the finished garment.
Quality of the raw material
The fibre makes the difference: its length determines its precious qualities, from strength to softness, preserved also thanks to drying in naturally ventilated greenhouses, as an alternative to mechanical drying.
Organic farming
Organic farming standards require practices based on natural agricultural techniques without the use of pesticides.

Traceability

Traceability along the entire supply chain is possible thanks to the patented marker by Haelixa, applied on cotton to record the "fingerprint" of the raw material.
