In the world of business attire, people might be hamstrung when it comes to creativity or colour. One might wear a brightly coloured shirt, some flashy cufflinks, a patterned tie… or maybe accompany an outfit with some colourful socks.

World Cotton Day is a yearly celebration to show the enduring positive impact cotton can have. We celebrate this day at Erve, because cotton plays a big role in our day-to-day business.
