Why Brazilian Cotton?
Every Coshell Body Bandana Set begins with cotton grown to Better Cotton standards in Brazil - one of the world's most rigorously tracked cotton industries.
Traceable, bale by bale
In Brazil, cotton bales are individually identified and tracked from farm to mill, so every step of the journey is documented and transparent.
Grown with intention
Much of Brazil's cotton is planted as a second crop after soybean harvest - making efficient use of existing farmland rather than clearing new land.
Grown Fairly
Better Cotton standards prohibit forced and child labour at every stage of production - so the story behind the fabric is one we're proud to tell.
A natural fibre
Cotton is a natural, cellulose-based fibre. It doesn't shed plastic microfibres in the wash, and it breaks down naturally at the end of its life
MACGEE CLOTH & COSHELL
Our story starts in Pam's studio in Robert's Creek. When I had my store in Gibsons, I featured Pam's handwoven blankets there-they sold well-and I also created items of clothing from her test samples, which were also very popular.
Visiting her meant standing next to her loom, surrounded by over a century of craft still doing exactly what it was built to do.
Pam has since moved to rural New Brunswick-and somehow, the collaboration only got stronger. She has been instrumental in helping me build Coshell from the ground up, and has agreed to weave one-of-a-kind blankets exclusively for the Coshell label.
