Referred to as “the Black Diamond” in Japan and Southeast Asia, bamboo charcoal fiber use is an emerging trend in the fashion industry as manufacturers look to combine fashion with function.*

Bamboo is a sustainable material, as bamboo is the fastest growing grass plant and the fabric it produces is extremely soft, lightweight, versatile and anti-odour. When the bamboo is heated, it creates charcoal which is ground down and used to create the fabric. Our Chakra collection leggings, bras and tops are available in Charcoal Bamboo.

The benefits of wearing Charcoal Bamboo:

•Hypoallergenic as the fabric inhibits bacterial metabolism causing fewer allergic skin reactions than other fibers sterilised with antimicrobial agents

•Naturally deodorising

•Anti-bacterial

The environmental benefits of Charcoal Bamboo:

•Dense growth patterns with an efficient use of space

•Complex root structure so it prevents erosion and maintains soil health

•Water efficiency so doesn’t require irrigation

•Hardiness so it doesn’t require pesticides or insecticides
