Verifying Origin
Providing clients confidence for the origin of their SUPIMA® Cotton.
We validate the extra-long staple SUPIMA® cotton, used in Theory's Good Cotton, all the way from the point of origin where it was grown to the mill in Italy where it is responsibly woven into cloth.

Their Theory for Good initiative is "Conscious by design" and aims to make all of their signature fabrics 100% traceable by 2025. From the launch of Good Wool in 2017 to Good Linen in 2019, this spring sees the launch of their most traceable fabric yet, Good Cotton: a collaboration between luxury cotton producer, SUPIMA®, renowned Italian mill, Albini, Theory, and ourselves.
Protecting customers as well as protecting the brand against potential fraud and counterfeit.
Traceability like no other.
Oritain’s unique methodology applies forensic science and data to detect naturally occurring elements in a product or raw material. Soil composition, climate, altitude and other environmental factors all reveal the details of a product’s origin - which we call an Origin Fingerprint.
Once we’ve created an Origin Fingerprint, it can be used to audit our clients’ products throughout the supply chain - to clearly differentiate the legitimate from the fraudulent.
