Cottonparadise is a specialized jersey development and in-house cutting and sewing facility that was the very first factory to join the Asket journey. Its owner and manager Paolo grew up in a textile family, and knows the business inside and out. When starting this facility, he set out to build it on a combination heritage and modern technology. Back 2015, when we first started collaborating he employed around 20 people of which 15 were seamstresses. Since then Paolos business has grown with ours. He has built a second production floor, set up a seperate sewing factory located 30 minutes away and partners with multiple local knitters and dyeing houses to source his fabrics. This specific facility coordinates the production of some of our most cherished garments from yarn to final product. Cottonparadise source yarns, knitting, dyeing and finishing of fabrics from nearby partners, while handling all cutting, most of the sewing and all final quality controls in-house.
