Why is bamboo viscose great to wear? - supersoft - 40% more moisture absorbent than cotton - breathable fabric that keeps feet fresh and dry - comfortable - naturally anti-bacterial - durable and stronger than cotton - hypo allergenic Why Bamboo and not cotton? - bamboo grows without the need for fertilisers or pesticides. - naturally requires less water (a third of the water required to grow cotton), farmers don’t need to irrigate their crop, saving water in a country where water shortages are a big problem. - bamboo yields are ten times higher per hectare than cotton and the plant rarely needs replanting, sprouting on its own. - bamboo yarns require less dye than cotton and keep their colour for longer.
