Why Bamboo

Bebe Fiore 's clothing line is all baby & all bamboo...Parents everywhere now have the opportunity to wrap their baby in a piece of luxury. Bamboo is not only one of the world's most sustainable resources but it also lends a dramatic quality to clothing that can be matched by no other fabric, not even silk. Not only is Bamboo good for the environment, but it's good for baby too! Once Bamboo fibers are spun the clothing produced is soft as silk!

There are several surprising benefits of bamboo. Just to name a few, bamboo does not harbor odors, is more breathable than cotton, is hypoallergenic and offers UV protection from the sun. Bamboo is one of the few crops that does not require pesticides, grows organically and is arguably a top contender amongst the world's most sustainable resources. With a growth rate of up to a meter or more per day, bamboo holds the world's record as the fastest growing plant. Since bamboo is a grass, not a plant, new shoots are continuously springing up after harvest without needing to replant!

Bebe Fiore's bamboo apparel is the perfect gift for you're baby! "(It's) the new cotton...it has all the properties that you physically want out of cotton, plus some. Bamboo is more antibacterial than (other fabrics like) cotton or wool, which are very absorbent and hold moisture in because Bamboo wicks moisture away, it's great for your circulation and skin."
