Bamboo Twill Fabric Bordeaux

This bordeaux twill carries a deep wine tone that catches the light differently depending on how the fabric falls, something you can see clearly in the way it swirls and folds. Look closely and you'll find the fine diagonal ribbing typical of a twill weave, giving the surface a subtle texture rather than a flat finish. It drapes with soft, rounded folds while still holding a structured shape, so finished garments keep their form without feeling stiff. The matte surface keeps the bordeaux colour looking rich and grounded, with no shine or synthetic gloss to it.

What this fabric is made of

This fabric combines bamboo fibre with a small amount of nylon, bringing together the breathability of a natural fibre with the added strength and resilience that nylon contributes. The twill construction, with its diagonal rib pattern, gives the cloth a bit more body than a plain weave while still allowing it to move well with the body. It falls into the medium weight range, light enough for garments worn close to the skin but substantial enough to hold tailored lines. You'll find more background on this fibre on our bamboo certified page, and the full range of twill options lives under bamboo twill fabric.

Crisp air finish

The crisp air finish gives this fabric a slightly dry, airy hand feel rather than a smooth or waxy one. It helps the cloth breathe more freely against the skin, which matters for anything worn for longer stretches, and it keeps the fabric feeling fresh rather than heavy. This finish also supports the structured drape, helping folds and pleats hold their line instead of collapsing flat.
