In the photos you can see how the fabric catches light in the folds, with a soft sheen that hints at the silky finish. The structure looks tightly woven yet feels soft and stretchy at the same time, with a matte look that never feels heavy. A colour that's easy to mix and match with other pieces and works year-round.

What is bamboo jersey fabric

Bamboo jersey is a single jersey knit made from bamboo fibre with a small amount of elastane, which gives it that signature 4-way stretch. The fibre itself is regenerated, made from bamboo pulp, and combined with synthetic elastane for extra bounce. The result is a fabric that drapes softly around the body without losing its shape. The breathable properties of bamboo make this jersey especially good for fabrics worn close to the skin. Want to know more about where this fibre comes from? Check out our bamboo certification page.

Ring-spun yarn versus open-end yarn

This bamboo jersey uses ring-spun yarn instead of open-end yarn. Ring-spun yarn is twisted tighter and more evenly, so the fibres line up better. This gives a smoother surface, less pilling and a stronger, more durable thread. You'll feel the difference straight away: the fabric feels softer against your skin and stays fresher-looking longer, even after washing frequently.
