 Bronze Patrons «white gold» was awarded through the view of archaeologists, humanity has always served as arbitrators in the search for historical truth. Promotion of white cotton on the market have contributed to the efforts of Arab traders, carrying cotton from India to the Middle East, Central Asia and then in China. Arab-duty cotton and its name originating from the Arabic word «quoton». At the same time when the white cotton is grown, pryalsya and tkalsya in Asia, Peru has developed an ancient Inca culture. And here we are encountering one of the fascinating world of secrets of early civilizations. 

 At the opposite half of the world, still unopened in the Americas occurred very rich in color and the most amazing properties in the world ever knew, multicolored cotton fabric. And all because the color is growing cotton. No studies so far have not determined how the cotton appeared almost simultaneously in two unrelated parts of a prehistoric world. Egyptians tkali of white cotton is so fine and thin fabric that today they have no equal. The Egyptian mummy, embalmed 4500 years ago, was wrapped in cloth, which has a density of 540 threads per inch. For comparison: the best British cotton today is approximately 350 threads per inch ... 

Today. Many were surprised by unusual color cotton in 1992 at the International exhibition-presentation of Moscow: dozens of shades of color from light beige to brown, from the gently-olive and kiwi fruit, red and gray-green. But the color was only the first visible sign of new raw materials - colored cotton material with amazing properties. 

 Prirodnookrashennoe cotton fiber has, above all, the unique biological properties: it is as if deliberately «apparent» in the field of view of humanity at a time when the question of survival of people stood up particularly acute: the chemical pressure of our modern times has become unbearable.

 Feature colored cotton is that it can greatly ease the lives of people in a complex environment. Development and promotion of the ancient, are rediscovering the culture could be a first, but sure step towards the «environmental technology» the future. 

 This technology includes a selection of special varieties of cotton prirodnookrashennogo natural deciduous (in cotton, it eliminates a particularly malicious process of defoliation), and bactericidal, allowing the use of environmentally friendly methods of farming cotton. 

 Interesting economy colored cotton. Deciduous cotton cultivation reduces costs by 15-20%, and the use of colored cotton fiber reduces the cost of production of new types of fabrics by 40%. Prikinte, but only to save mercerization and dyeing

Tomorrow. Many now understand the need to preserve our natural environment in all areas, ranging from air and food, furniture, clothing, and freedom of creative solutions. 

 A buyer of environmental awareness, which requires a product that does not hurt neither him nor the environment, and the industry is gradually beginning to understand the situation, giving the selection of new technologies for those that have the prefix «eco». Even the producers of synthetic fibers are trying to do everything possible to improve production systems and get more fiber «friendly» in relation to nature. Yet the success of the environmental modes require serious work and great investment. Resolve the issue is not as simple as glue bright label indicating that this type of environmentally friendly goods. If all aspects - from fiber production to final disposal - taking into account, will require major efforts.  

 The designer of Britain's Linda Gross (Lynda Grose), creator of one of the first ekolollektsy, said: «The best fashion - the one that has a positive impact on the world around us: aesthetically, culturally and ecologically». It examines the work of the company, as the beginning of the future of clothing, hoping that such activities will be familiar to the entire industry. Experts fashion-market reflect aloud: natural area continues to dominate in all aspects of creating fashion, starting from the fiber, will be further developed in the yarn and fabrics, and, finally, finally takes the form and color. Simplicity, clarity and accuracy of form, sound proportions underline the value of the natural material, «play along» its texture. Netsvetnye and unpainted fabric is always in fashion. Already established a strong conviction about the charms of nature of different shades of raw materials. Almost every commodity group, whether it be wool or colored cotton in question, you can find a wide range of colors from white to dark red-brown. The most attractive in the yarn and natural materials of natural colors that they show true colors: natural whiteness, in which a lot of very subtle shades of ivory to the actual green-white tones.
