01 — THE COTTON
It starts with the fibre. We select cotton for its softness, strength and natural feel — the foundation of every piece we make.

Everyday clothing built around considered materials, thoughtful construction and a simpler way of dressing.
MARGOT & RUE started with a simple idea: good clothing begins with the fabric. Instead of starting with trends, we start with the material by selecting cotton for its softness, structure and durability, then working with carefully chosen manufacturing partners to turn it into pieces made for everyday life.
From cotton essentials to denim, our approach stays the same: comfortable fabrics, uncomplicated silhouettes and pieces designed to be worn far beyond a single season.
For us, cotton isn't simply a fabric. It's where every piece begins. We look for fibres chosen for their feel, strength and character, before considering cut, colour or finishing.
It starts with the fibre. We select cotton for its softness, strength and natural feel — the foundation of every piece we make.
The raw cotton is cleaned, combed and spun into fine yarns, preserving the qualities that make the fibre feel soft yet durable.
Our yarns are knitted or woven into fabrics chosen for their feel, structure and the way they naturally fall on the body.
The fabric is dyed and finished before being carefully inspected for consistency, colour and hand feel.
Finally, each fabric becomes a MARGOT & RUE piece, cut, assembled and finished with attention to proportion, comfort and everyday wear.
Behind every fibre is a place, a process and the people who grow it. From Egypt’s Nile Delta to Fayoum, generations of cotton-growing knowledge shape the fibres we select for their softness, strength and character.
"Cotton has been part of my family for as long as I can remember. What I enjoy most is seeing the quality of the fibre improve from one harvest to the next."
We favour close relationships with the people behind our cotton, giving us greater visibility into its origin, quality and journey before it reaches our fabrics.
"A good season is not only about how much we grow. It is about knowing that the work behind the fibre is valued."
Building lasting relationships with our sourcing partners helps create greater consistency from season to season, both in the cotton we select and in the way we work together.
"Every harvest teaches us something. Better knowledge of the soil and the fibre helps us improve what comes next."
Our partners work alongside growers throughout the season, sharing knowledge around cultivation, fibre selection and harvest quality to continually improve the cotton we source.
"The strongest partnerships are the ones that continue beyond a single harvest."
For MARGOT & RUE, sourcing is not meant to begin and end with one collection. We aim to build long-term relationships that allow our partners, our materials and our products to evolve together.
