EGYPTIAN COTTONIt was an eco- community in the heart of the Egyptian countryside that ignited my interest in Egyptian cotton producers. They asked me to to work with them. I create garments which I hope are long lasting, pieces you will never throw away as they are made from one of the most beautiful fibres in the world that has a protected DNA and unrivalled heritage. The Egyptians love their cotton so much its infectious! I love it too. What better fibre to wear next to your skin in Summer
