The Airlume Difference

Our signature combed and ring-spun cotton.

The wholesale clothing industry was built on low quality, carded open-end [COE] cottons, fabric woven from rough, loosely-wound yarn chock-full of impurities. These COE cottons make for less comfortable, less consistent garments and don't provide an ideal surface for printing. You deserve better.

BELLA+CANVAS believes that you, the creators, deserve the highest quality canvas imaginable, and that quality garments are built at the thread level. That's why we exclusively use a proprietary Airlume Combed and Ring-Spun Cotton to create the softest garments on the market, and the perfect canvas for all of your many expressions.

We exclusively use long staple cotton for a smoother, more tightly-knit fabric with fewer stray fibers to create garments that are perfect for all of your printing needs.

3. ECO-DYED

We exclusively use eco-friendly dyes in a process that consumes 7x less water than our competitors, creating garments that reflect our values so that you can create with garments that reflect yours.
