Something tells me that it is going to be another long hot summer.  Keeping cool, fresh, dry, wrinkle free and on top of things can be a struggle if your boss won’t update the air con.  Or the kids need your taxi driving skills taking you in and out of the car all day long.  A cool body brings on a cool mind that is my motto.   

Cottons, silks and wools are the three traditional natural fibers that offer natural breathing capabilities. Keeping the wearer fresh and cool.  But have you ever considered looking at Bamboo as an alternative fabric.  Bamboo is also a natural fiber which claims to be anti microbial, thermal regulating, anti fungal, anti static, hyper allergenic, breathable and absorbent, keeping you drier and fresher.  It is the new “green” fiber, farmers claim that soil erosion is reduced and pesticides are reduced with the farming of Bamboo.

I really was impressed when I read the reports about Bamboo.  But what impressed me more was its touch. Wow, it is the most beautiful fabric to touch, they make many baby products from Bamboo and it is now time to celebrate some of the local Australian labels that are making a go from this fantastic fiber.

You may be looking for a beautiful sundress that can take you from the beach to a summer’s evening’s meal out, or a vest that will keep you in check for a business lunch, or for that awesome pair of exercise pants that you thought you would never find.
