You have submitted three samples. Styles 113, 232, and 553 are panties constructed from 51% cotton, 41% polyester 8% spandex knit fabric produced in Canada. You indicate that the cotton is from Brasil, the Polyester from the U.S.A. and the spandex from Canada. The elastic used in the waistband and leg openings is produced in Canada.
