WHAT’S NEW IN COTTON?

- CELLIANT -

Cotton-rich Celliant fabrics utilize a natural blend of minerals embedded into the yarn that are designed to recycle the body’s energy, resulting in increased comfort along with promoting a restful sleep.

Presented by COTTON USA™ at the Première Vision show in Paris, this new idea in performance wear is  an example of how U.S. cotton can win in categories traditionally dominated by synthetics. These are the first yoga pants and shirts that improve blood flow for faster recovery times while being super comfortable.

- COTTON CARES - Signature T -

COTTON USA™ has partnered with ADNAS and their SignatureT technology to create cotton-rich apparel that can be traced back to the farm where the cotton was grown.

Applied DNA’s SigNature®T molecular tag is a permanent and secure application that is applied to cotton fiber at the gin. This custom molecular tag enables forensic, fiber-level tracking throughout the supply chain and distribution process. Cotton-rich products utilizing the SignatureT molecular tag can be traced all the way back to the farm where the cotton was grown.
