Why Bamboo?
We chose bamboo not only for it's unbelievable softness but because it is the most environmentally friendly raw material on earth. It has been used as a resource for many things such as shelter, textiles, food, medicine, musical instruments, the list goes on...
How does Bamboo Grow?
Bamboo grows naturally without any assistance and requires no fertilizers, pesticides or chemicals. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, it grows to it's maximum height in about 3 months and reaches maturity in 3-4 years. A typical hardwood tree can take 30-50 years to regenerate to their full mass. Bamboo is actually classified as a topical grass not a tree and some species have been recorded to grow over 1 meter in just 24 hours!! Bamboo doesn't require replanting as it has characteristics like a weed, it spreads rapidly and requires very little water.
Why choose Bamboo for clothing?
Bamboo is one of the world's most environmentally friendly materials and has been used as a natural resource for thousands of years.
