It may be mentioned here that VICUNHA is a fully vertically integrated company, taking care of all processes right from spinning to finishing, with full control of traceability of their cotton, a growing concern of buyers. By the use of barcodes, the company provides information of each fabric roll and the production processes it has been through, machine by machine, right down to the square meter where the cotton was grown.
