Sea Island Cotton is the most luxurious strand of the original soft fabric in the world. The cotton industry changed forever when British colonists first discovered this tropical beauty on the island of Barbados in the early 1700s. The fabric was originally made from the “Gossypium Barbadense,” plant, which is the predecessor to the strand from which lustrous Egyptian Cotton is made. The defining quality of these cotton strands that makes them so valuable is the extra long staple fibers that produce a more refined, silkier cloth.
