Heirloom cottons from Mexico
In Mexico, cotton grows in five rich colors: white, beige, caramel, green and brown-red. Most cotton growers are located on the Pacific Coast of the country, where cotton usually grows amonst avocado, coffee or corn.
Heirloom colored cottons have been used for centuries by Indigenous people, mostly to embelish their traditionnal garments (huipiles)

HANDWOVEN BY MASTER WEAVERS, USING REGENERATIVE COLORED-COTTON
Indigenous farmers off the Pacific Coast of Mexico and Guatemala practice regenerative agriculture, and grow cotton the same way their ancestors did. Heirloom colored-cotton usually grows in small crops of corn and coffee, it doesn’t require additional water or pesticides. These ancestral fibers are resilient and 100% rain-fed and therefore have zero impact on the environment. It is hand-harvested, hand-spun and hand-woven. Colors may vary from a harvest to another, and products may show nuances because no two cotton bolls are the exact same tone.
