The PYRATEX® solea family is made from 100% traceable Spanish cotton, created with the goal of a zero-kilometer fabric—fully produced in Spain and Portugal.

 

Historically, the world's cotton is almost entirely sourced from Asia or America, with European-grown cotton often exported for processing and fabric production elsewhere. In contrast, our Spanish cotton is cultivated on 400 hectares in Seville and Córdoba, where it is processed and ginned and then spun and knitted in Portugal. This localized supply chain not only reduces transportation emissions but also allows for greater traceability of the fiber back to the farm and enhanced quality control.

 

In addition, the European Union enforces some of the strictest regulations on cotton cultivation worldwide, guaranteeing that the cotton used is free from genetically modified organisms (GMO).
