While approximately 110 million bales of cotton are cultivated annually, only 2 million possess an extra-long staple. However, the truly exceptional aspect lies in the mere 150 bales of Sea Island cotton produced each year, constituting a mere 0.0004% of the world's cotton production.

     

Scientifically named "gossypium barbadense," West Indian Sea Island Cotton is also known as "Black Seed."

Genuine Sea Island Cotton, the crown jewel in the cotton realm, is cultivated in the Caribbean, predominantly in Jamaica and Barbados. The ideal climatic conditions of warmth, balanced sunshine, wind, and rain contribute to its superior quality.
