It’s not snow, a large healthy looking cotton field. I thought it’s the most beautiful scenery of the town.

Your Sourcing Guide to Fashion Made in Nigeria – African Cotton
This week I uploaded a new youtube video with Nigerian fashion brand This Is Us
Such an amazing home grown story with a couple who focused on locally sourced textiles and textile traditions. This story I shared in their interview see it here but I also wanted to share a little about Nigerian cotton which is what they used.
African cotton is a topic close to my heart…if you know me by now you know…
Gossypium tomentosum, Ma’o, or Hawaiian cotton, is an another endemic member of the mallow family (Malvaceae). It is grown as a small shrub, a groundcover, and is enjoyed for its silky flowers and silvery leaves. Sadly, like many of the other Hawaiian plants I’ve been sharing, it is endangered and has been extirpated from at least one of the Hawaiian islands largely as a result of continued coastal development.
Besides the loss of beauty, variety, and ecological diversity, the extinction of a species always has potential to make lost traits which would have perhaps more conventional value. This cotton illustrates this as even while its population continues to decline, its genes persist in commercial cotton crops after being bred with them to confer enhanced insect and pathogen resistance. While for some the abstract consequences of extinction have no impact, there remain more concrete losses which should leave any person concerned.
