The charm of rare cotton "subin" also known as the jewel cotton
Subin cotton is characterized by its moist and smooth texture, just like cashmere or silk. Even at Foo Tokyo, room wear using Soobin has been very well received since its release.
The world's annual cotton production is about 26 million tons, but Suvin cotton is an extremely rare cotton, with only 200 tons being produced.
Why is the production volume so low despite being a high-quality cotton that is loved by many people? The secret lies in the production period and growing environment of Suvin.
- BY GROWING FOR A LONG TIME, IT BECOMES A THIN, LONG AND STRONG FIBER
Subin cotton has a longer growth period than ordinary cotton, so it grows as a thin, long and strong fiber.
On the other hand, the fact that it takes time to harvest means that the risk of being hit by a disaster also increases. It is very difficult for producers to grow a lot of Subin cotton, because even if they grow great cotton, it may be completely ruined before harvesting.
- SUBIN COTTON GROWING ENVIRONMENT IS TOO HARSH
Subin cotton can only be grown in some areas of southern India where there is a certain amount of plateau, where there is a cool breeze coming down from the mountains, and where summer is hot and water is plentiful.
In addition, due to recent climate change, India is in a situation where major droughts and cyclones inevitably occur several times a year. It is not uncommon for them to disappear.
Even in such a situation, Indian cotton farmers continue to produce in order to preserve this attractive cotton.
- CHARM OF SOOBIN COTTON, ALSO KNOWN AS 'JEWEL COTTON'
Due to its rarity and high quality, Soobin is also called "jewelry cotton".
The first characteristic of Soobin is its moist and unique texture. Because it is rich in oils and fats, it has a silky luster and a cashmere-like smooth feel, even though it is made of cotton.
In addition, although it is the world's thinnest extra-long cotton, its fibers are very strong and have excellent durability.

*Because it uses rare cotton, it is difficult to mass-produce it, and some items have already sold out, and items that are in stock continue to be in short supply. If you are considering purchasing, please place your order as soon as possible.
