Why Cotton

Why Cotton

The luxury of a cashmere sweater without the itch.

Our Story

Soft by nature. Designed to live in.

State of Cotton NYC began with a simple frustration.
Our founder, Robin loved the polish of cashmere,
but due to her sensitive skin, she couldn't wear it comfortably.
When she couldn't find high quality cotton sweaters, she decided to design them herself.

Sweater Care

Easy to wear. Easy to care for.

01

Wash

Turn your sweater inside out and place it in the State of Cotton laundry bag we gift you with each order. Machine wash cold, one sweater per bag. Do not bleach. Your sweater is also safe to dry clean.

02

Dry

Air-dry flat on a towel or drying rack. For faster drying, roll the sweater in a towel first to remove excess water. Cool iron if needed.

Exceptional cotton starts at the source.

Yarn Origins

Exceptional cotton starts at the source.

We choose premium cotton yarns for their strength, softness, and refined hand.

Egyptian Cotton

Considered among the highest-quality cottons in the world. Handpicking keeps the fibers intact, allowing them to be spun into exceptionally fine, long, soft yarn.

Turkish Cotton

Premium extra-long fibers from Turkey's Aegean region give this cotton a luxurious softness and refined hand similar to Egyptian cotton.
