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

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.
