The Increasing Popularity of Bamboo Clothing

By Bamboo Grove on August 1, 2021

Slowly but surely it seems like the fashion industry is catching up to the rest of the world when it comes to incorporating bamboo fabrics into their latest looks and trendy runway lineups. By finally recognizing these benefits, businesses have been able to deliver an eco-friendly product to their ever-growing base of consumers who care deeply about the environment and how to play their small part to combat the ongoing effects of climate change.

Bamboo Apparel

One of the more interesting aspects of using bamboo fibers for the creation of bamboo clothing is that since the plant itself grows at such a rapid rate, clothing manufacturers are able to consistently provide a wide variety of options for the ever-changing minds of their consumers. Combine this with the fact that bamboo can be mass produced in a fraction of the time and a percentage of the cost and you can see why many companies have been somewhat forced to reevaluate their current inventory in order to fulfill the increasing interest and demand from the public. Its growing popularity among the younger generations has many online retailers and big-box stores scrambling to replace their bamboo inventory as soon as it hits the shelves.

Another endearing quality about bamboo fabrics is that they are far more aesthetically-pleasing than your average clothing materials like cotton or wool. Athletes from around the world have been aware of the benefits of wearing bamboo clothing while participating in sporting events for quite some time. An unintentional, yet well-kept secret amongst the community, the absorbent, breathable, and moisture-wicking properties of bamboo athletic apparel are the critical keys to success in specialties such as marathon racing, triathlons, and long-distance swimming. Additionally, people who suffer from sinus issues, allergy problems, and other respiratory ailments have found a healthy alternative in wearing bamboo clothing due to an antibacterial bio-agent called bamboo kun which is closely bound in bamboo cells. This is also why materials crafted from bamboo are so incredibly durable and versatile as the kun kills off the bacteria leaving behind only the strong & sustainable bamboo fibers.

Our Goal

We know it might be a long shot, but our hopes here at Bamboo Grove are that by incorporating a little bit of bamboo into our everyday lives and swapping out the substances that are no longer suitable for the environment, that we can stave off the inevitable effects of climate change for a few more generations to come.
