You can choose from 14 colours swatches of our stretch bamboo fabric that we're currently running in our range and can make into any of our pieces. These single swatches are roughly 15x15cm square to give you an idea of the colour and weight before you commit to us making you something.
All prints are Limited Edition.
Our four-way stretch bamboo fabric is very silky to the touch and so is smooth and soft next to the skin. It has a good weight and so drapes beautifully. Bamboo is an excellent choice for year-round clothing - because of its microporous structure and natural breathability it keeps you cool and comfortable in hot weather, yet warm and cosy in the cold.
It is known as a 'viscose' because it is produced using the cellulosic viscose method. Our bamboo is 95% bamboo viscose 5% spandex. Summer weight is 190gm and our standard weight is 260gm.
Being environmentally conscious we advise a cold wash 20-30c and hung to dry.
Interestingly for such a soft feeling fabric, when bamboo gets wet it
becomes very strong and stiff as it retains water unlike polyesters.
For this reason I hang my bamboo on the outside of my clothes rail or
the prime drying spot as it does take a little longer to dry.
Bamboo fibre will fluff up and become softer over time making it even more comfortable to wear.
Be careful not to wash items with metal objects thay might hook.
If you can wear an item of clothing 50 times instead of the average 5 you
reduce the average carbon emissions of your clothing item by 400% 💚🌍
