I travel quite a lot for my studies and so often end up having my dinner all alone in local restaurants. I often take a good book or magazine with me to make me feel less alone. Last week, I was in CHICAGO IL where I ate at Sabor Latino Inc and I came across a really interesting piece to do with bamboo clothes. I had no idea you are able to make fabric out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some amazing qualities. I found out bamboo clothing is softer than most cotton. They also say it is antibacterial and good for you if you suffer from allergies. That is a great quality to have in clothing. Bamboo clothing is extremely absorbent so it is a great option for gym clothes or even as bamboo towels. I was interested by what I had discovered so I had to find out if it was true. I looked online and got some basic items of clothing.

I have to admit I was extremely impressed with the quality. The fabric really is soft, not unlike silk. It was close to being dry after I removed it from the washing machine which I found to be amazing. Another thing I noticed is that it did not necessarily need much ironing. I I am unaware if all bamboo fabric is like that but it is something I look for as I hate doing ironing.

Find the latest bamboo clothes here or there are numerous organic clothes stores where you can purchase organic cotton clothes as well bamboo sheets.

After a bit more research I discovered some amazing facts to do with bamboo. It is almost always organic. It grows very quickly which means it does not need fertilisers and they do not use pesticides either. Plus bamboo uses only a small amount of water during the time it grows which means they can survive droughts.

I do my best to make eco friendly choices whenever I go shopping. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable making it my number one choice for clothing and other products such as robes, blankets, rugs, and baby clothes.
