Hailing from Faiyum, Egypt, a region rich in history and antiquities—we only use the strongest, longest and silkiest authentic Egyptian Giza cotton to create our woven bottoms. Working directly with 145 smallholder family-run farms in the region, we bypass the use of traditional middlemen to ensure best business practices and guaranteed pricing—which equated to 35% above market pay last season. We work hand-in-hand with the farmers to understand their changing needs, providing them with subsidies like fertilizer and agricultural consultants, and their biggest request: accessible, quality education for their children. So, from funds raised from the sales of every order to date, we’ve built two schools in the farming communities we work with, with another three underway in 2019.
