Our fabric is made in Peru within a vertically integrated group that handles each stage under one strategy. The group names a company per stage: Agro Pima Perú for cultivation, Desmotadora del Pacífico for ginning, Hilandería Lurín for fiber and yarn, and Full Pima for knitted fabric.

Who makes Boablanca's fabric?

Idetex S.A.C., based in Lima, coordinating the group above. They describe themselves as vertically integrated, with a strategy that runs across every company in the group, and they state around twenty years in the market.

What happens at each stage?

Cultivation — Agro Pima Perú. Cotton growing, which the group describes as its source of premium raw fiber.

Ginning — Desmotadora del Pacífico. Separating fiber from the seeds of the harvested boll. The seed is not discarded; it goes to livestock feed.

Spinning — Hilandería Lurín. Carding, then combing, then spinning. The plant produces Pima yarns in counts from 20/1 to 60/1.

Knitting — Full Pima. Circular knitting machines producing jersey, rib, piqué, interlock, French terry and flannel.

What certifications does the mill hold?

The group publicly states OEKO-TEX, ISO 9001:2015 and Better Cotton Initiative certification.

These belong to the mill, not to Boablanca. We name them because they describe the conditions our fabric is made under, not to imply a certification we hold ourselves. OEKO-TEX testing screens textiles for harmful substances; ISO 9001 audits the documentation and consistency of production processes.

What can Boablanca document?

Yarn formation and knitting in Peru, certified by fabric affidavit under the United States–Peru Trade Promotion Agreement, which requires yarn-forward origin. We hold the mill invoices and shipping records for our production lots.

What have we not documented?

Fiber measurements for our own lots. The staple length figures we publish elsewhere are industry figures with a source attached, not measurements of our fabric. We have not run laboratory testing for shrinkage, pilling or fabric weight.

We will publish those when we have them, with the test standard named. Until then we would rather say what we know than round it up.

Why does dyeing use less water here?

The group's dyehouse works with short bath ratio machines, which use a lower volume of water per batch than conventional equipment. That is a description of the process, not an environmental claim. Combed vs. carded cotton
