About Us
I started State of Cotton NYC because I wanted to fall in love with sweaters again.
For years, I struggled with wool and cashmere—too itchy, too hot, and just not comfortable for all-day wear. But I had one perfect sweater: a 100% cotton favorite that had been with me for 20 years. I needed more like it!
My search for high-quality cotton sweaters left me empty-handed. Everything I found was either low-quality or blended with synthetics. That’s when I realized: if the perfect cotton sweater didn’t exist, I would create it myself.
With over 30 years in the fashion industry, I knew where to start. I reconnected with trusted friends and spent two years traveling, researching, and refining. We sourced the finest Italian-spun Egyptian and Turkish cotton yarns in a variety of weights, designed timeless silhouettes with impeccable fits, and curated a color palette to complement any wardrobe. Every detail was considered—even our labels are 100% cotton for a seamless feel against your skin.
And in 2021, State of Cotton NYC was born—a brand where luxury meets simplicity, and comfort is never compromised.
Wearing sweaters again is my luxury.
