About Bamboo
Bamboo
Traditionally used by furniture makers, bamboo has more recently been rediscovered as an exciting new source of fabric.
Bamboo fabric is incredibly soft with a silk-like feel, but is more durable and can be produced at a lower cost than silk.
Bamboo fabric is produced from the pulp of the leaves and inner part of the bamboo trunk. The individual fibres are filled with tiny holes and gaps making the fabric extremely absorbent and breathable – up to three times that of cotton. Bamboo fabric resists odours, keeping it fresher and less smelly for longer than many other fabrics. It is also hypoallergenic – perfect for those with sensitive skin.
We're excited about the benefits of bamboo fabric. If you're new to bamboo products we're sure that you'll soon be converted!
