Our Story

Our Story

Robin didn't set out to start a clothing brand. She set out to create sweaters that didn't exist.

Experience Intertwined With Instinct

For more than thirty years, Robin worked across fashion as
a planner, buyer, merchandiser, and designer in New York and Paris.
She learned what makes clothing beautiful — and what makes it truly wearable.
State of Cotton NYC brings those lessons together in pieces designed
with intention, ease, and a distinctly personal point of view.

The Challenge

The Challenge

“Cashmere and wool look beautiful, but never felt right against my skin. I believe true luxury should be something you can comfortably live in. When I couldn't find high quality cotton knitwear, I decided to create it myself.”

The Answer

The Answer

“I approached cotton with the same standards usually reserved for cashmere — exceptional yarns, expert craftsmanship, and silhouettes that feel effortless. The end result — a collection of luxurious cotton sweaters that are timeless yet modern and infinitely wearable.”
