Bamigo’s bamboo clothing arrives in the UK
The sustainable men’s fashion brand from the Netherlands has launched in the UK
Bamigo’s collection of underwear, t-shirts, socks and pyjamas are all handmade using bamboo fibres to allow the skin to breathe. The items are designed to be worn around the house and are specially made to enhance relaxation.
The bamboo fabric has microscopic holes in its fibres to aid in ventilation and the fabric absorbs up to 70% more moisture than cotton without retaining unpleasant odours, allowing the skin to breathe and ensuring freshness throughout the day for its customers. The thermal regulating effect of bamboo fibres provides added protection against the cold whilst also preventing overheating.
Bamigo is committed to a sustainable and more durable alternative to cotton clothing. The entire range is kinder to the environment than cotton as it needs only sunlight and rainwater to grow. The use of bamboo also has a positive impact on other global environmental concerns such as deforestation and the greenhouse effect.
Bamboo is hypoallergenic, which means that it does not trigger any allergic reactions. This unique property of bamboo is particularly welcome for those who have sensitive skin or suffer with allergies. Bamboo also provides natural UV protection and can filter up to 97.5% of harmful UV rays. This makes it the ideal fabric on hot days with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
“Through our innovation we work to give bamboo underwear another dimension” said Bart Hoorntje, CEO at Bamigo. “We have been told time and time again that our underwear and range of socks and t-shirts feel like a second skin, and we are excited that British consumers can now experience the comfort and style of our bamboo clothing.
“With our products now available in more than a dozen countries worldwide, we feel this is the right time to extend our offering in the UK”, continued Bart Hoorntje. “We believe British shoppers attach as much value to sustainability as we do; they engage with environmental issues, but they also appreciate high quality, so it’s a good fit all round.”
Bamigo’s collection of bamboo underwear, t-shirts, socks and pyjamas are all now available in a range of various styles and lengths, exclusively at bamigo.com
