I travel quite a lot for my work and so often end up having my dinner by myself in cafes. I usually take a good book or magazine with me to help pass the time. The other day, I was in MAMARONECK NY where I ate at Ye Old Toll Gate Steak House and I read a really interesting piece on bamboo clothes. I did not realise you can make clothing out of bamboo.
Bamboo has some great qualities. It turns out bamboo clothing is softer than organic cotton. They also say it is antibacterial and hypo-allergenic. That is an excellent quality to have in clothing. Bamboo clothing is highly absorbent making it a excellent choice for gym clothes or even as bamboo towels. I was interested by these claims so I had to find out if this was really the case. I looked online and purchased a few items of clothing.
I have to tell you I was pretty impressed. The fabric really is soft, kind of like silk. It was pretty much dry as soon as I took it out of the washing machine which I think is amazing. Another thing I noticed is that it did not necessarily need much ironing. I am not sure if all bamboo clothes are like that but it is something I look for as I hate ironing.
Find the latest bamboo clothes here or there are plenty of organic clothes stores where you can get organic cotton clothes as well bamboo linen.
After a bit more research I found out some incredible pieces of information about bamboo. It is a product which is organic. It grows very rapidly which means it does not need any fertilisers and they do not need pesticides either. As well as that, bamboo needs very little water during the time it grows meaning they can survive droughts.
I try to make eco friendly choices whenever I can. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable so it is my number one choice for clothing and other products such as robes, blankets, throws, and baby clothes.
You can find more articles on bamboo here and good information about organic farming and why to buy organic products.

The first time I was introduced to bamboo clothing, I immediately fell in love with its softness. It felt like cashmere or silk. It wasn’t until I learned about bamboo’s unique and natural properties that I came to “believe” in the clothing and wanted to share it with others. I have sensitive skin, and many fabrics irritated me. When I started wearing bamboo clothing my rashes disappeared, no more itchy skin.
Sustainable clothing is very important to me as I believe in doing our part to protect Mother Earth. Did you know that cotton is the world’s most disastrous crop and accounts for one quarter of all chemical fertilizers and pesticides? The chemicals used on the cotton crops are linked to contamination of ground and surface water; then these chemicals can make their way into our drinking water as well as fish and wildlife eco-systems. Bamboo does not require chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides to grow. In fact, it is a natural woody grass that is the fastest growing in the world.
I have an active lifestyle so the natural moisture wicking properties keep me cool and dry.
