Bamboo baBy Catalogue

Bamboo baBy, from Bamboo Baby Ltd, offered a Spring/Summer 2013 collection of baby and children's clothing crafted from organic bamboo and organic cotton. The range featured fun organic cotton prints, super-soft bamboo and organic cotton interlock, bamboo denim styles and luxurious bamboo knitwear, all with designs inspired by sweets.

Why Bamboo?

Bamboo baBy chose bamboo because it is described as one of the most sustainable all-natural plant fibres, prized for its silky softness. Bamboo fabric is organic, sustainable and eco-friendly, while remaining wonderfully soft against the skin.

• Bamboo has a notable softness and hypo-allergenic properties, making it ideal for babies' delicate skin.
• It is very absorbent and helps keep babies warm when cold and cool when warm.
• As a fast-growing grass, bamboo grows without the need for pesticides and little water, offering a more eco-friendly alternative to conventional cotton.
• It can help reduce environmental damage, including soil erosion.

Clothing That May Help Eczema Sufferers

Because rough clothing, chemicals, infection, overheating and damp can all trigger atopic eczema, both organic cotton and bamboo clothing are thought to help. Bamboo is very soft with sweat-wicking, thermo-regulating and anti-bacterial properties, helping to reduce a number of these triggers. Organic cotton is cool to wear and allows the skin to breathe, and both fabrics are free of chemical residues. The National Eczema Society provides a fact sheet listing stockists of organic cotton, silk and bamboo clothing that may help sufferers.

Design Features

Bamboo baBy designed its clothes to fit well, be comfortable and last as long as possible as little ones grow.

• All jeans, trousers and skirts have adjustable waistbands.
• Dungarees and pinafore dresses have three sets of poppers on the straps so they can be adjusted as your child grows taller.
• Hooded tops are fully reversible, so if one side gets grubby you can simply turn them inside out.
• Some shirts, jeans and trousers have poppers inside the legs or buttons on the sleeves so they can be made into three-quarter length.

And because bamboo fabric is so soft, you should hopefully never hear your little one complaining that anything feels itchy.
