Bamboo clothing is made with bamboo fiber. Bamboo fiber is not well known as a textile fiber, but extremely green and friend of nature. Bamboo is an evergreen herbaceous plant, not a tree or shrub contrary to popular belief, which grows in tropical and subtropical areas, mostly in Asia. In nature there are over 1200 species, all characterized by a particularly fast and luxuriant growth. Some of these can reach surprisingly high heights and dimensions.
In recent years, in trend with eco-chic style and design and green fashion, bamboo has increasingly become the protagonist in the fashion, design and furniture panorama. From the creation of chairs, baskets, shelves, but also bags and finally real fashion collections of bamboo clothing. Sustainable fashion has made bamboo fibers and bamboo clothes one of its main cornerstones. In fact, bamboo fiber is obtained from this plant, an artificial viscose of natural origin whose benefits are numerous.
Bamboo fiber is also one of the main materials that ProtoXtype uses for our sustainable collections and green.
But what are the real advantages and characteristics of bamboo clothing?
Bamboo is a very soft textile fiber, naturally elastic and always fresh on the skin. These features make it the ideal fiber for making comfortable garments, for travel or for the city, but always attentive to both style and the environment. Bamboo is also ideal for giving life to breathable, anti-sweat and thermoregulatory fabrics: whether you are doing sports, or facing an adventurous journey thanks to our bamboo clothing, you will be able to face every challenge and every climate change. The bamboo fiber also allows you to shelter from UV rays and manages to keep the average temperature below one or two degrees compared to the norm. It is also antimicrobial and antibacterial.
100% performing, adaptable to all your needs and also 100% biodegradable and eco-sustainable: its rapid growth requires about 1/3 of the amount of water needed by a cotton plant or other plants existing in nature to survive. Furthermore, unlike the cotton plant and hemp, bamboo has no natural parasites, and is therefore grown without the use of chemicals. A natural fabric with numerous performances that we at ProtoXtype love to use to make bamboo clothing and fashion collections high performance and always attentive to nature.
