Xacus

Fabrics

Xacus only works with cot­ton grown on the banks of the River Nile which adhe­res to Euro­pean agri­cul­tu­ral stan­dards. This cot­ton is grown wit­hout the use of harmful che­mi­cals to pro­tect the envi­ron­ment and our health. Many brands use orga­nic cot­ton, but Xacus uses spe­cial Egyp­ti­an cot­ton which has an orga­nic cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on as it is grown in much smal­ler quan­ti­ties and is har­der to obtain. 

This long-fib­re cot­ton can only grow in spe­ci­fic are­as, such as the banks of the Nile. By shop­ping at Xacus, you’re buy­ing top qua­li­ty fabric which uses the tem­pe­ra­tu­re of the body to shape its­elf around the body and avo­id creases. 

Ethics

Xacus does not use GMOs (gene­ti­cal­ly modi­fied orga­nisms). This ulti­m­ate­ly means grea­ter finan­cial inde­pen­dence for the far­mers who can keep a hold of the seeds and don’t need to inter­act with big gree­dy com­pa­nies. Each Xacus cot­ton bale has a cer­ti­fi­ca­te which allows you to trace it back to the farm whe­re it was grown and har­ve­s­ted. Cer­ti­fi­ca­tes also allow the enti­re pro­duc­tion cycle to be tra­ced, from spin­ning to the final product.

Howe­ver, we would like to know whe­re the cot­ton is woven into pop­lin or batis­te, which com­pa­nies are invol­ved and how exact­ly the local pro­duc­tion takes place. We’ll find out for you.

Slow Fashion

Xacus has many tim­e­l­ess pie­ces on offer. In fact, part of their coll­ec­tion is always available. This is good becau­se it means the­re is no rush to sell ever­y­thing at the end of each sea­son. Their tim­e­l­ess pie­ces, such as their beau­tiful white shirts, keep their qua­li­ty over the years. 

Head to Mach­teld and order your made-to-mea­su­re Xacus shirt. Choo­se the cut, slee­ve length, col­lar, fabric and but­tons and crea­te the shirt from your dreams per­fect­ly tail­o­red to you!
