Bamboo and Kicks

No issue on Chinese sustainable fashion would be complete without a bit of bamboo! Touted as a green fabric with hypoallergenic and thermo-regulating capacities the real story on bamboo is a little more complex; although it’s true that the plant itself is a sustainable product by virtue of its fast natural growth, the transformation process can often be very polluting. This article from the great blog Organic Clothing will give you the full picture. And if you want to do bamboo right, here are our hottest bamboo picks from eco designers worldwide! To complement our favorite bamboo pieces we’ve thrown in some sporty kicks as a wink to the Olympics.
