Explore Our Cotton Collection
At Cloud Coton, we source, develop, and deliver the finest varieties of cotton — each chosen for its unique quality, heritage, and utility. Our cotton types support a wide range of needs, from affordable everyday basics to exclusive, export-grade luxury textiles. From Upland cotton, the world’s most widely used fiber for everyday wear, to short-staple heritage cottons used in artisanal fabrics, every variety we carry has a role in balancing quality, price, and performance for different applications.
We offer elevated options like Pima and Supima cotton — known for their extra-long staple fibers, softness, strength, and color retention — perfect for premium fashion, babywear, and high-thread-count bedding. At the top end of the scale, we feature true Egyptian cotton and ultra-rare Sea Island cotton. These heritage fibers are cultivated in small batches and hand-picked for exceptional smoothness and natural sheen, making them prized by luxury brands and textile connoisseurs worldwide.
Cloud Coton also supports the preservation of traditional textile economies through the inclusion of Tree and Levant cotton, both grown in South Asia and Africa. These coarser, short-staple varieties are ideal for handwoven garments, organic wraps, and cultural fashion. Whether you're building a retail clothing brand, sourcing for export, or creating artisanal textile lines, we help you choose the right cotton based on feel, function, sustainability, and story.
