Bamboo Island is a 100% online marketplace showcasing the very best bamboo products. We've put together a hand-picked collection of bamboo brands to help more people discover the wonders of bamboo. We've embraced the idea of slow living, slow fashion, slow travel. The pieces we've selected, from bed sheets to clothing, homewares to PJs, are classic and what we hope is the complete opposite of fast fashion and throwaway living. We've rushed through our whole lives. Now we are slowing down and embracing a more sustainable lifestyle. Island living if you like, so... welcome to our Island! Why Bamboo? It works hard for our planet: Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than an equivalent stand of hardwood trees. It can withstand the pace of deforestation and needs very little water to grow. It is organically grown: Bamboo has natural defences against pests so it can flourish and grow without the use of pesticides, fertilisers or chemicals. It is truly a wonder fabric: Bamboo is moisture-wicking (less sweat!), thermo-regulating (keeps you cool in summer and warmer in winter) and is a breathable, natural fibre. It also has antibacterial properties (you'll stay fresh) and is naturally hypoallergenic. Bamboo fabric is also luxuriously soft and smooth to touch and doesn't require any ironing either! Skin friendly: Bamboo feels truly divine against your skin as it is so soft, light and smooth. It is also naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. see less
