So, what is Pima cotton?

Pima cotton is a naturally hypoallergenic material that only grows in select regions.  LIVLY Pima cotton Fabric is sourced directly from Peru, a country known worldwide for producing the best organic cotton due to its ideal ecosystem and weather conditions. Peruvian Pima cotton is renowned for its whiter, brighter and extra-long fibers, offering incredible softness.

This superior Peruvian cotton quality is achieved by hand-harvesting, which prevents contamination and discoloration that is common in machine-harvested cotton. This whiter cotton allows us to eliminate bleaches in the manufacturing process as well as enables better dye absorption for our beautiful prints.

How to care for your Pima Cotton

LIVLY uses 100% Peruvian Pima cotton.  Due to the nature of this incredibly soft cotton, you should expect some shrinkage upon washing. We add extra length to our clothing to allow for this, but please follow the care instructions.
