Is your bamboo fabric actually sustainable, or is it greenwashing?Updated 3 days ago

We understand the concern — many “bamboo” fabrics on the market are actually bamboo rayon, which is chemically intensive and poorly regulated.

That’s not what we use.

What we use

Our core fabric is bamboo pulp–based lyocell, blended with stretch for comfort and longevity.

Lyocell is different from rayon or traditional viscose in a few key ways:

• It’s produced using a closed-loop process
• The solvent used (NMMO) is non-toxic
• Over 99% of the solvent is recovered and reused
• Waste and emissions are dramatically reduced compared to conventional viscose

Is it TENCEL™?

“TENCEL™” is a brand name owned by Lenzing, not a fiber category.

• All TENCEL™ is lyocell
• Not all lyocell is TENCEL™

Our bamboo lyocell is produced using a comparable closed-loop process by an independently certified manufacturer. Functionally and environmentally, the process aligns with the same standards used for branded lyocell fibers.

Certifications

• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified: The finished fabric is tested and verified to be free from harmful substances  
• FSC certified supplier: Ensures responsible sourcing of bamboo pulp across the supply chain

Why bamboo?

• Bamboo is fast-growing and renewable
• Requires no pesticides
• Uses less land than many traditional fiber crops
• Produces a fabric that is breathable, soft, durable, and long-lasting

Our honest stance

We don’t believe any fabric is “perfect.”

Our goal is to balance:

• Comfort and longevity (clothes you actually wear for years)
• Low-impact manufacturing
• Transparency over buzzwords
