I travel a lot for my work and so often end up eating by myself in local restaurants. I often take a book or magazine with me to make me feel less alone. Recently, I was in GALENA IL where I ate at Cafe Italia in the Logan House and I came across a new piece about bamboo clothes. I did not realise you can make clothes out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some fantastic qualities. I found out bamboo clothing is softer than organic cotton. They say it is antibacterial and hypoallergenic. That is a great quality to have in clothing. Bamboo clothing is very absorbent so it is a excellent possibility for gym wear or possibly as bamboo towels. I was interested by these claims so I had to find out for myself. I searched online and bought a few pieces of clothing.

I must admit I was pretty impressed. The fabric absolutely is soft, not unlike silk. It was close to being dry as soon as I took it out of the washing machine which I think is great. I also noticed is that it did not particularly require ironing. I I am unaware if all bamboo clothing is like that but it is what I look for as I can not stand ironing.

Check out the latest bamboo clothes here or there are many organic clothing stores where you can buy organic cotton clothes as well bamboo linen.

After a bit more research I found some incredible pieces of information about bamboo. It is almost always organic. It grows very rapidly which means it does not need any fertilisers and they do not require pesticides either. Also bamboo uses very little water during the growth period so they can survive droughts.

I do my best to make eco-friendly choices whenever I do my shopping. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable so for me it is the number one choice for clothes and other products such as sheets, underwear, curtains, and baby clothes.

You can find some details on bamboo here and good info about organic farming and why to buy organic products.
