A type of high-quality cotton with extra-long fibers, or referring to the Pima people of the American Southwest.
Named after the Pima people of Arizona and Sonora, from their own word 'akimel' meaning 'river people'. The cotton variety was named in their honor when it was developed in the early 20th century using Egyptian cotton in the American Southwest.
Pima cotton represents a beautiful convergence of geography, culture, and agriculture - Egyptian cotton seeds grown in Arizona's desert, producing luxury fabric named after the indigenous people who had farmed that land for centuries. It's a rare example of a commercial product honoring Native American heritage.
