BCI COTTON 

BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. Their goal is to make cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and to make the future of this sector of the industry more sustainable. At Rue De Tokyo, the majority of our cotton products are made from BCI cotton, and is always Europe produced. 

 

COROZO BUTTONS 

At Rue De Tokyo we use corozo buttons on all our BCI cotton products. Corozo is a 100% natural, and degradable product, made from the nut that grows on the Tague tree. The Corozo button can only be produced form a ripe nut which has naturally fallen from the tree. Its natural harvesting and biodegradability make it one of the most sustainable raw materials used for buttons. Despite the name, the corozo nut is actually a fruit. The material for the button is crafted from the liquid that the fruit produces once ripe, which then solidifies into a hard substance. Close up, corozo is structured from very dense organic fibers that provide high durability and resistance to damage or scratches. And since the material is 100% organic, no two buttons look the same.
