Designed in California

At Paulette & Maria, every piece is meticulously designed in Topanga, California. We pride ourselves in achieving a flattering perfect cut without compromising on comfort.    

Organic Pima Cotton

We use high end organic Pima cotton from Peru. We believe it’s the premier choice for lingerie due to a combination of its luxurious qualities and environmentally friendly characteristics. Pima cotton is renowned for its extra-long fibers, resulting in a softer and more durable fabric compared to conventional cotton. This inherent softness is especially crucial for underwear, as it ensures a gentle and comfortable feel against the skin. Additionally, Pima cotton has a natural luster, contributing to an elegant and refined appearance for lingerie pieces. 

Made in Peru

Given our commitment to sourcing the finest Pima cotton, we've forged a partnership with a factory in Peru that is aligned with our values. This collaboration ensures that our garments are ethically crafted with meticulous care.

Why Cotton?

We chose to use cotton for our undergarments as it is often considered the best choice for women, due to several key reasons:

Breathability 

It’s highly breathable and absorbs moisture. It helps to keep the intimate area dry and reduces the risk of irritation or discomfort, especially during physical activity and warm weather.

Comfort

It’s soft and gentle on the skin, providing a comfortable and non-abrasive feeling. It’s less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin. It also tends to get softer with each wash.

Absorbency

It is absorbent, naturally antibacterial, and wicks moisture away from the body, which is beneficial during menstruation or for those who experience increased vaginal discharge. This absorbency helps keep the skin dry and prevents potential infections.
