We chose the high quality and sustainable woven bamboo mainly because of its absorbency, absorbing 60% more moisture and dries 20% quicker than traditional cotton towelling whilst offering a soft silky texture for comfort. Bamboo is also anti-bacterial by nature, even after 100 wash cycles. As a material, it has fantastic environmental credentials, able to be cultivated naturally without pesticides and absorbing 35% more carbon dioxide than equivalent fibres. Bamboo was a win-win.
