100% Bamboo and Blends


Bamboo, Chinese Painting
Chinese Bamboo Painting. More >> 		  Bamboo is a natural cellulosic fiber derived from the bamboo plant (Bambusoideae). Bamboo fiber is biodegradable and anti-bacterial. It can be made into fabric or yarn that is soft, breathable, with a good drape and elegant luster similar to silk, and is an excellent affinity to dye. Because of its fast growth and sustainability, bamboo is regarded as an ECO fiber and has become increasingly popular as awareness of environmental issues has grown. It is used widely for making all types of clothes including coats and jackets, and can be blended with other fibers. Reference - Fashion A to Z, Alex Newman.

In addition to being biodegradable and anti-bacterial fiber, bamboo is less expensive than silk and cashmere, having a lustre of silk and softness of cashmere.
