The Caratage Gold Standard
World's Finest Cotton
The SUPIMA® trademark is the consumers’ guarantee that the branded textile product they are buying contains the finest U.S.- Grown Pima Cotton. SUPIMA® trademarked goods are made with 100% U.S. Pima cotton of the highest quality.
Extra Long Staple Cotton
All Supima® cotton is ginned on “roller gins” that operate at much lower speeds in order to separate the fiber from the seed gently. In contrast, regular cotton is processed by high-speed “saw gins” which use a more aggressive system to break the fiber away from the seed.
Gold Standard Quality
We meticulously select only the finest materials, ensuring each piece exudes elegance and durability. Every detail, from the texture of the fabric to the precision of the stitching, is carefully considered to create garments that stand at the pinnacle of luxury fashion.
Premium Hardware
Utilizing durable and eco-friendly zinc alloys, our premium metal hardware adds a touch of sophistication and resilience to each garment, embodying both luxury and sustainability.
GOTS® Organic Cotton
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.
WRAP® Social Compliance
WRAP is an independent, objective, non-profit team of global social compliance experts dedicated to promoting safe, lawful, humane, and ethical manufacturing around the world through certification and education.
Windmill Powered Production
Our garment factories use Suzlon 1250 wind power to encourage green power and continue leadership in environmental production.
No Sweatshop Production
Our mills adhere to something called SA 8000 for Social Accountability Management System, and FLO (Fairtrade Labeling Organizations) which
are dedicated to alleviating poverty afflicting the majority of the world’s farmers and workers by setting and certifying the compliance of stringent, socially conscious production.
OEKO 100®
If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article, i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health.
Complete The Look
Superior Extra Long Staple Quality
At Caratage, we understand that the essence of luxury begins with the raw materials. SUPIMA® cotton, a distinguished variety cultivated in the USA, stands apart, comprising less than 1% of the world's cotton yield.
Unrivaled Softness
The superior softness of SUPIMA® cotton sets a new standard for luxury. Its fine, robust, and elongated fibers, measuring 1.5 inches—significantly longer than the 1 inch of standard cotton—facilitate a gentler weave for enhanced softness & luxurious feel.
Lasting Vibrance
SUPIMA® cotton's finer fibers excel in dye absorption, ensuring deep and enduring color penetration. This superior quality means Caratage garments maintain their vibrant hues far longer than traditional cotton garments, preserving their brilliance through countless washes for enduring elegance and color that lasts.
Enhanced Strength
SUPIMA® cotton, with double the strength of regular cotton, ensures our garments are exceptionally durable. Its long fibers prevent pilling and tearing, maintaining the integrity and appearance of Caratage garments for enduring elegance and lasting wear.
American Grown
Our SUPIMA® cotton is exclusively sourced from the the United States, representing the pinnacle of American agricultural excellence. This commitment to homegrown quality ensures that each Caratage piece not only supports local farming communities but also adheres to the highest standards of sustainability and ethical practices.
When "Organic" really means "organic
Our products bear certifications from renowned third-party organizations, ensuring our supply chain meets stringent global standards. These rigorous certifications instill confidence in both us and our consumers about the quality and impact of our garments. We embrace these high standards and advocate for their adoption industry-wide.
