What is Bamboo Clothing? Why it’s one of our favorites!

Why bamboo clothing? Bamboo clothing refers to textiles made from bamboo fibers. These fabrics have gained popularity due to their unique properties. Here’s what you need to know and a few of our favorite reasons to wear bamboo:

1. Luxuriously Soft. Why wear anything other than the most sumptuous materials that nature has to offer? Life’s too short to put up with rough, scratchy fabrics!

2. Stay Dry 24/7. Bamboo is 40% more absorbent than even the finest organic cotton. This means that it brilliantly wicks moisture away from the skin and is extremely comfortable.

3. Smell Fresh For Longer. Avoid unpleasant odours that can arise from wearing inferior materials. Our bamboo clothes have been proven to reduce odour, thanks to the natural anti-bacterial properties of bamboo fibre.

4. Green is Good. Bamboo is extremely environmentally friendly, using very little water to grow, needing no harmful pesticides and being 100% biodegradable.

5. Enjoy true lasting colours. Whilst bamboo fibre requires far less dye than cotton, it also showcases colour exceptionally well. As one of the major benefits of this superior material, enjoy attractive, vibrant colours that will last you a lifetime.

Easy to Care for

6. Easy laundry care. Many bamboo pieces, such as our range of Bamboo Pants and tops, do not require washing as often as similar items made from other materials. At the same time, when they do need cleaning it is straightforward and low-maintenance.
