More About Bamboo

• Organic:  Bamboo is also good for our ecosystems because it does not require chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Bamboo is hypoallergenic and totally organic!
  Fashion: Bamboo clothing is something special. It drapes like silk, it feels as soft and good as silk, but it is more practical because it is durable and much less expensive and versatile.
  Imagine that, clothing that looks good, feels good and is good for the environment! Bamboo clothing is catching on fast; just ask artist-couturier Linda Loudermilk who featured images of tree branches at her Paris runway show, signifying the launch of her precedent-setting luxury eco line, which included an array of bamboo-fiber apparel.
  Super Soft Yet Durable: Bamboo fiber is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere.
  But, it has a very high soil release value and is so durable; you can throw it in the washer and drier.
  Breathable: Due to bamboo fiber’s cross section which is composed of a matrix with various microscopic gaps, bamboo fiber is more breathable, comfortable and thermal regulating than cotton, wool or any other synthetic fiber thereby keeping you cooler, drier and more comfortable all day.

  This unique micro-structure allows bamboo apparel to absorb and evaporate perspiration faster than any other fabric. It’s nice not to have your clothes sticking to your skin in the hot summer or during exercise!
  

Antibacterial: Unlike other antibacterial fabrics, which require a chemical treatment (and are often irritating and hyper allergenic to the skin), bamboo fiber fabric and yarn are naturally bacteriostatic and require no harmful chemicals. The fibers contain an agent, “bamboo kun”, that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it thereby inhibiting body odor. The naturally occurring bacteriostatic property also helps prevent cultivation of yeasts, molds and fungus on your clothes and on you!
It has been proved by the bamboo material tests made by the “Law Laboratory” in Birmingham, leading bamboo producer of the world that the material is at the following ratios:
97.3 % against Staphylococcus Aureus in 24 hours
92.4 % against Klebsıella Pneumonıeae’ye in 24 hours
The Int’l Textile Inspection Association has tested bamboo fiber fabric finding that even after 50 washes, the bamboo fabric could still eliminate over 70% of bacteria purposely incubated on the fabric.

Hypoallergenic & UV Protection: Bamboo apparel is hypoallergenic. Bamboo’s organic and natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to the skin making it a pleasant alternative for anyone with skin sensitivities or other allergies and dermatitis. Bamboo apparel also protects you from UV rays, naturally.
