Our Bamboo Bed linen is made in the UK from the new eco, organic 100% Bamboo fabric. It is soft, luxurious and aids deep, restful sleep.
It may seem unlikely that the woody plant that we all know can make a luxurious, soft fabric but it does!
It is produced in a similar way to other natural plant based fabrics. The plant material is pulped releasing the cellulose and the natural antibacterial properties of the Bamboo. The pulp is then refined
Then the process mimics the way that the silkworm transforms the cellulose of the mulberry tree into fine filaments. The liquid cellulose is forced through a metal spinneret to create a fine filament performing just like a silkworm spinneret.
The filaments are later spun into a soft yarn and then woven into fabric of luxurious quality.
We launched ournew Certified Organic Bamboo Bed Linen last year after a long search for exactly the right quality to meet our exacting specification.
That means not only careful research but also visits to investigate the growing, manufacturing and weaving so that we can be absolutely sure about the provenance of our products .
Jane Allen - our Design Director has made many trips to source our fabrics - throughout Europe, India and China. Bamboo from China led her to make an extensive tour to see the complete manufacture of our Bamboo fabric from Plant to Fabric
Jane Allen with DuRong our contact in China visiting the “Bamboo Sea”
Jane visited the extraordinary “Bamboo Sea” in Sichuan Province. This huge area of Bamboo cultivation covers an area of 120sqkm of mountain slopes at an elevation from 600 to 1000m. Nearby this ancient Bamboo forest commercial Bamboo growing takes place.
Jane also visited the plant in Hebei Province where the Bamboo is pulped before the process creates the bamboo fibre. This modern plant operates under strict environmental protocols has been awarded an ISO 14001 Environment Management System Attestation. The Bamboo fibre has an OCIA International Organic Certificate. The OCIA is accredited by The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM).
Finally Jane visited the weaving company, one of our regular suppliers in China, who also weave our superb Pure Silk fabrics. We have worked with this weaving company for a number of years and they assisted us in developing the special weave for our bamboo that makes our bed linen soft and strong with a special silky lustre.
