Egyptian cotton: why it's the best fabric for pajamas and kaftans
Share
Since 1998, Sameera has built her name on Egyptian cotton — for very specific reasons.
After 28 years in the field, we've learned that the fabric is the foundation of any piece that lasts. And Egyptian cotton, honestly, has no equal.
What makes Egyptian cotton special?
Longer fibers. Egyptian cotton fibers are longer than fibers from other cottons. That means the fabric comes out softer and stronger at the same time.
It breathes. In the Egyptian summer, this is the most important quality. Egyptian cotton lets the body breathe — it's natural fiber with no plastic in it.
It lasts for years. Premium pajamas made of original Egyptian cotton stay beautifully soft for years, provided you wash them properly.
How to wash Egyptian cotton so it stays new
- Wash in warm water, not hot
- Use a gentle detergent
- Keep it away from heavy fabrics in the same load
- Dry in the air, away from direct sun
Why Sameera rejects fabric
In 1998, we set one rule: we don't put our name on a fabric we wouldn't wear ourselves or give to our daughters. To this day, we reject large parts of fabric shipments that don't meet that standard.
