This wonder material has for centuries caught the world's imagination for its brilliant colours, wearability and quality - in fact, the craze for wearing cotton fabrics from India so threatened local weaving industries in Europe during the 17th century that it even carried a death penalty! Centuries after that tribute to Indian cotton, the sun continues to shine brightly on India's cotton fields - blessed with ideal tropical climatic conditions and conducive to growing the highest quality cotton in the world. Combine with this, today's triumphs of technology, and you have ICL International - geared to bringing the very best to a world still in love with Indian cotton.
