Bamboo clothing offers a new level of luxury and comfort, in a sustainable and ethical way. Bamboo fabric is incredibly soft, smooth and luxuriously comfortable. Bamboo is being called ‘The New Cotton’ and people are talking about ‘A Textile Revolution’.
Bamboo is the most sustainable all-natural plant fibre on earth with amazing softness. It is organic, eco-friendly, anti-bacterial, UV-resistant, non-allergenic, thermo-regulating, deodorizing, more absorbent than cotton, and luxuriously silky soft!
Bamboo grows and thrives without fertilizers, pesticides or any chemical assistance. This is partly down to an antibacterial substance it contains called ‘bamboo-kun’. Compare this property to cotton which uses approximately 25% of the world’s fertilizers and insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides for only 10% of the agricultural land mass. Cotton crop pesticides are also the greatest crop contributor to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which contribute to low level ozone and smog formation, increasing the green house effect. These chemicals are also documented as causing death and loss of reproductive ability in fish and wildlife.
Bamboo clothing and bamboo fabric are completely biodegradable, unlike synthetic
textile fibres. Synthetic textile fibers are also made from non-renewable petroleum, and can even emit harmful gasses when incinerated. Almost all polyester/cotton blend fabrics are finished with formaldehyde, a carcinogen, added to make fabrics wrinkle or flame resistant. Our bamboo has no such chemical applications. As no chemicals are used in the growing and processing of the fabric, it is naturally Organic and does not irritate sensitive or allergic skin, making it perfect for babies!
