With temperatures rising across the country, it’s time to bring out hot new summer looks for your wardrobe.  When trying to find ways to fill your closet with flattering yet comfortable clothing, consider your bamboo options.  Bamboo fibers are naturally soft and even more important for summertime clothing, it’s breathable.  Bamboo clothing helps keep you drier and acts as a thermal regulator so it will help keep you cooler.  Buying bamboo will also help you spend more time outdoors enjoying the beautiful summer weather by spending less time in the laundry room.  Bamboo contains a natural agent called bamboo kun which prevents bacteria from cultivating  so your clothes remain odor-free.  All of these benefits without using any harmful chemicals!

Green Earth Bamboo recently added HOT SUMMER ITEMS to their inventory that will let you look fabulous and take advantage of the amazing bamboo fiber!

For anyone looking for a day to night look, this summer halter dress is perfect for any occasion.  The look of the dress can be changed with the placement of the straps.  They can be criss-crossed, straight or even hidden for a sexy strapless look.  Another multi-tasking item to put to work for your wardrobe are these racerback tank tops!  Offering a comfortable fit and built-in shelf bra, this tank can be worn on its own or layered.  It can even hit the gym and is great for yoga and pilates classes.

For anyone wanting to show a little less skin but still remain cool and comfortable, take a look at these popular V necks.  This Priya boatneck with beautiful bell sleeves looks terrific no matter how you wear it.  Pair it with your favorite pair of jeans for a date night or throw it on over your racerback tank after a yoga class.  Or pair it with an equally versatile gaucho to make your entire outfit soft and breathable.  These stylish gaucho pants have a fold over to allow for personal hip placement and extra comfort and can be worn casually or dressed up with your favorite pair of boots. 

As with any shopping, the product will only be as good as the supplier.  Green Earth Bamboo has gone to great lengths to screen and find the “right” suppliers for their product lines.  The “right” suppliers not only carry the highest quality bamboo products but they are also ”eco conscious” and demonstrate that in their business practices. 

Some important things to note about the suppliers for Green Earth Bamboo are:

  • The bamboo is USDA certified organic
  • The bamboo farms are OCIA certified organic
  • The fiber is FSC chain of custody certification: FSC chain of custody (CoC) tracks FSC certified material through the production process – from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution. Only FSC CoC certified operations are allowed to label products with the FSC trademarks. The FSC label thus provides the link between responsible production and consumption and thereby enables the consumer to make socially and environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.
  • The fiber has Oeko Tex 100 Class A certification
  • The bamboo fiber is processed in a closed loop system where 98% of the sodium hydroxide and 74% of the carbon disulphide are recovered and recycled.
  • No chemicals are applied to the fabrics unless they either meet the GOTS standards or are Oeko Tex certified. There are no residual chemicals in the fiber.
  • All dyes are low impact Azo-free dyes.
  • Our suppliers are members of and approved by Green America
  • Our supplier for our baby items produces the fabric in the U.S. and all spinning, knitting, wet processing, cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery and distribution are all performed within a 150 miles radius.
  • Our bedding and clothing supplier produces the fabric in China and the weaving, dyeing, finishing, cutting, sewing and packaging are all performed within a 100 miles radius. The yarn factory itself is not within this radius.

    Not only will you be able to add stylish, soft and absorbent items to your wardrobe, but you can do so knowing that you have made a responsible decision for the environment.  That just makes shopping even more fun!
