why cotton only?
COTTON, cool, soft, comfortable, the principal clothing fiber of the world. Its production is one of the major factors in world prosperity and economic stability.Cotton's popularity stems from the fiber's inherent benefits, such as tactile comfort (that is, a sensation of softness when touching cotton fabric), and an unsurpassed ability to accept and retain color. Cotton is a seasonless fiber--cool in the summer, insulating in the winter. It "breathes" and therefore keeps body moisture away from the skin. It launders beautifully.Its beauty and natural comfort make the world a better place. Can you imagine a world without cotton? It's often the first fiber we touch when we are born into the world… and it stays with us throughout our lives. Consumer demand clearly shows that people want cotton in their lives all year long because the comfort and strength that cotton provides is empowering.There is nothing fake about cotton. Cotton feels wonderful against your skin and we believe it is the healthiest of all fibers. Life can be hard, but cotton makes our lives easier. What would we do without cotton? Since cotton wrinkles, polyester was added to give it wash and wear properties for a busy world. In recent times, the consumer determined that polyester, although easier to care for, took away the cool from cotton and also added a "pilling" effect to cotton/polyester blends. Consumers now often request "100% Cotton".
We deals in cotton because of its friendly properties with environment and human body. Cotton is a natural fibre and donot have any hazardess effect as comparison to polyester.

historical info on Cotton
The earliest evidence of using cotton as a textile fiber is from India and the date assigned to this fabric is 3000 B.C. There were also excavations of cotton fabrics of comparable age in Southern America.Cotton cultivation first spread from India to Egypt, China and the South Pacific. Even though cotton fiber had been known already in Southern America, the large scale cotton cultivation in Northern America began in the 16th century with the arrival of colonists to southern Parts of today's United States.
The Largest rise in Cotton production is connected with the invention of the saw-tooth cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793. With this new technology, it was possible to produce more cotton fibre, which resulted in big changes in the spinning and weaving industry, especially in England. Today, cotton is grown in more than 80 countries worldwide.
