It is a super rare cotton, which cannot withstand treatment and is therefore hypoallergenic. In addition, it consumes much less water than classic cotton, which is great for the environment. But above all, it is incredibly soft and durable. And it remains that way wash after wash. Your Marcel tank top is therefore a companion for a long time.
