Why is bamboo better?

Bamboo is an extremely resilient and durable fibre. At the same time it can feel beautifully soft and pleasant to the touch.

1. Super Soft: Bamboo is to cotton what cashmere is to wool – a more soft and luxurious feel.
2. Antibacterial: Bacteria do not live well in bamboo fabric. So it doesn’t get smelly even after many days.
3. UV Protection: Bamboo fabric cuts out 97.5% of harmful UV rays, so perfect for holiday/travelling cover-ups.
4. Kind to Skin: For allergy prone skin, bamboo fabric is perfect. It’s anti-static and sits well next to your skin.
5. Moisture Wicking: Bamboo fabric absorbs moisture away from your skin, keeping you drier.
6. Thermo-Control: Bamboo fabric is warm, thanks to its hollow microfibre (like wood), yet is also breathable. Performance in all temperatures.

1. Grows Fast: Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, so yields more often from the same plot.
2. Greater Yield: Bamboo yields the same volume as cotton from 10% of the land area.
3. Grows Naturally: Bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilizers.
4. Biodegradable: 100% Bamboo fabric is 100% biodegradable.
5. Not Thirsty: Bamboo only needs rain water to grow. Very little, if any, additional water is ever required.
