Bamboo - From Grass to Clothing

About the Bamboo Plant

Over 1,000 bamboo species grow worldwide, with moso bamboo sourced almost exclusively from China. This fast-growing perennial grass requires no replanting, suppresses weeds naturally, and grows without herbicides or pesticides thanks to bamboo-kun, a natural antimicrobial compound. It thrives in floods or droughts with minimal water. Bamboo fibres require less dye than cotton, yield vibrant colours, feel softer, and pill less. The fabric is biodegradable. Hana Bamboo uses an eco-friendly closed-loop process with Oeko-Tex 100 certification.

About Hana Bamboo Clothing

Hana offers two fabric weights: 230gsm for lounge pants and 210gsm for other products. Both deliver superior quality with less pilling than cheaper alternatives. Our garments feature no labels or tags, flat seams to avoid visible lines, and are made from 95% bamboo viscose and 5% elastane for comfort and stretch.

Texture 

People often compare the feeling of wearing bamboo to that of wearing knitted silk. It feels great, and is one of the softest fabrics in the world. Hana bamboo is strong, soft, durable and lightweight.  

Cool in Summer, Warm in Winter

Due to its thermo-regulating properties, Hana Bamboo keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, meaning it’s ideal for both hot and cool climates.  The cross-section of the bamboo fibre is covered with micro-gaps giving the fabric fantastic moisture absorption and ventilation.  It also has excellent breathability and wicking ability that will pull moisture away from the skin so it can evaporate for greater comfort when it is hot.  It traps warm air in its cross-sectional fibres to keep you warm in the winter

Anti-Bacterial

Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and because bacteria does not live well in bamboo it does not hold odours which makes our clothing odour-resistant.  This happens because bamboo has a unique antibacterial quality due to an antimicrobial bio-agent called ‘bamboo-kun’ which is found naturally in the bamboo plant

Allergy Friendly

The Bamboo fibre is naturally smooth and round, meaning there are no sharp spurs to irritate the skin.  This silky, soft, gentle fabric is ideal for people with skin sensitivities.

Anti Static

Bamboo fabrics are anti-static

Organic

Bamboo is well known to be an organic material because it is grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers.

Bio-Degradable

Bamboo fabrics are 100% biodegradable.
