Colorganic collection now in stock!!

We decided to do something more with bamboo rather than just eating it or building with it. Bamboo is amazing. You would see surprised to see how soft it feels!

Bamboo is slightly shiny, like silk, but it has the feel of cashmere though not as warm. Bamboo is hypo-allergenic and good for people with sensitive skin. Some people call it eco-cashmere. We have decided to take the bamboo idea further and mix it with cashmere.

80% bamboo and 20% cashmere is the perfect mix. It gives you the warmth and yet more softness! Bamboo is a great plant because its also a weed which means it grows very fast, up to a meter per day, and therefore no fertilizers or pesticides are needed. The bamboo is organic, and so is the cashmere. We have revived old dyeing techniques using plants and metals. This is called vegetable dyeing.

In the end we have created a range with some very nice colorganic bamboo/cashmere knitwear that feels great, looks gorgeous and is eco!
