Bamboo Collection from Natural High Clothing
by Kara DiCamillo, Newport, Rhode Island on 04.19.06
Last fall we introduced you to Natural High, a clothing company that focuses on men’s and women’s yoga apparel and accessories. At the time, Natural High’s clothing was made from natural hemp fibers and we’re here today to report that they, like many other companies, have started to experiment with bamboo. Although they still offer the pieces made from hemp fiber and organic cotton, we like how they’ve started to incorporate the bamboo in so many of their styles. Some pieces are made with 100% bamboo while others are a 70% bamboo/30% cotton blend. We like the Serenity Shawl (shown here) because it can be worn in a number of ways and the two-toned Power Wrap is so stylish and versatile, especially paired with the sexy Lotus Slip. The new collection can be found at Natural High’s flagship store in Santa Monica, CA, along with various retailers in the United States, Austria, Sweden, Canada and Japan. ::Natural High
Has anyone used the long, tough fibers in sunflower stalks for cloth?
Just found another great example for the use of bamboo, but even more interesting was the description of the textile features.
