An image of the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto Japan I went to visit!
So as you know our ‘Retrograde’ collection is mostly made from Bamboo, so some facts about why this fabric is so great for the environment!
Did you know Bamboo releases 35% more 02 than an equivalent plant!
Bamboo fabric is a natural textile made from the pulp of bamboo grass. The bamboo used to produce fabrics (not the same as Panda food) is easily replenished and requires no pesticides to grow.
Bamboo is considered one of the most sustainable plants because it grows quickly and does not require chemicals or irrigation, and biodegrades more quickly than oil-based synthetics.
Some perks of Bamboo:
Antibacterial - keeps you odor free and feeling and smelling fresh
Highly sweat absorbent (Pulls moisture from skin for evaporation - moisture wicking) - keeps you dry
Powerfully insulating - keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in winter
One of the softest fabrics on the planet you'll love the way it feels
