Bamboo fiber is unique for several reasons.
- Bamboo fiber comes from a renewable resource. Once bamboo has been planted it does not need to be replanted and can be harvested every 4 years.
- The fiber has the unique aspect of being anti-ultraviolet which makes it great for summer clothing to protect against the sun’s harmful rays.
- Bamboo has antibacterial properties called “bamboo kun.” The “kun” helps to keep bacteria from growing on the plant as well as on the fiber. Odor-causing bacteria are prevented from growing so that the clothes made from bamboo fiber can remain fresher longer while being worn.
- When woven into fabric, the fiber gives a welcoming drape to modern fashions.
- The smooth, round fibers give fabric a soft feel. Designers are using the luxuriously soft fabric for their fashions.
- The sheen from the bamboo fiber is useful for designers who want the look of silk without the expense.
- Bamboo fiber’s structure allows bamboo fabric to be more breathable than hemp, wool, synthetic fabrics or even cotton.
- Dye is more easily and quickly absorbed by bamboo fiber.
- Bamboo fiber has micro-holes or micro-gaps which allow clothing made from bamboo fabric to “breath.” Bamboo clothes can help keep the person who wears them feeling cooler.
- Bamboo fibers are strong and give extra wear to clothing made from bamboo fabric.
