Bamboo
Bamboo fabric is a natural textile made from the pulp of bamboo. It is naturally porous and highly water absorbent, able to take up to three times it’s weight in water. In bamboo fabric, this translates to an excellent wicking ability that absorbs moisture and pulls it away from the skin, keeping you cooler and drier than synthetics or cotton.

The soft , smooth texture , and superior drapability of the bamboo is similar to silk, but more practical, because it is washable. Because it is naturally antimicrobial, bamboo retains it’s anti-fungal, anti-bacterial nature even after processing into fabric and numerous washes.

The plant itself is very quick growing and does not usually require the use of pesticides and herbicides to thrive. As a result , plantations can easily be kept organic and
replanted yearly to replenish stocks.

The versatility of bamboo fabric makes it an excellent choice for clothing designers
exploring alternative textiles.
