Behind The Scenes
Not All Cotton Is Created Equal
Most brands use basic (60x60) cotton. We use premium signature Hi Handmade cotton — more comfortable, softer and beautifully stronger.
Frequently asked Questions
Most of our styles come with both lining and pockets. For styles without lining, it's simply because they don't need it. We use high-quality, tightly woven cotton that isn't see through - so you get comfort and coverage without the extra layer.
