It is only in relatively recent times that the technology was developed to separate and utilise bamboo fibre for textiles. Thousands of years ago China introduced silk to the world – made from the thread of the silkworm. This was a mighty development and to this day silk is still one of the highest quality fabrics available. Now China, also with inputs of technology from the West, has shown the world a new kind of fabric, equally fantastic and revolutionary – Bamboo Textiles.
Bamboo Textiles took this new textile fibre and trialled it for western conditions and lifestyles. The results were very successful and we selected the most needed items from the range we had developed and began distributing them commercially.
Beginning with extra-thick work socks, customers liked them so much and were back to buy more so quickly that an expected six month’s supply ran out in about two months. Now, many who have come to know the product are waiting impatiently for further bamboo textile products to become available. And in the meantime, bamboo has established a high quality name in the marketplace.
