Egyptian Cotton or Stain Striped bed linen products do not mean your linen contain the real thing anymore. Number of studies conducted years ago and DNA studies conducted by Cotton Egypt Association (www.cottonegyptassociation.com/) that an overwhelming majority about 80% of fabric labels on our sheet sets have been faked. Actually, be a blend of cottons, not purely made of the fine and long-lasting fibers that consumers associate with the Egyptian cottons. If something is labeled Egyptian cotton and the price seems too good to be true, it very likely is. You can call the manufacturer and ask them about the Egyptian cotton fiber length of the cotton in use. Who processed the cotton and ask for a copy of the certificate issued to the manufacturer. Check out these credentials from the Cotton Egypt Association, a non-profit association formed in 2005 to protect the “legacy of luxury” of Egyptian cotton.
