Bamboo viscose is a soft and silky man-made cellulosic fibre (MMFC) extracted from bamboo plants.

• Bamboo fibre is known for its breathable, cooling and smooth properties.
• Bamboo's natural habitat includes regions with mild winters and abundant rainfall, such as the Sichuan province in China, a leading exporter globally.
• A key advantage of bamboo is its rapid growth rate. It can reach up to 1 metre per day without the need for pesticides or fertilisers.
• The base of the bamboo plant can be harvested again within 3-5 years, unlike cotton, which is harvested twice a year, leading to greater soil stress.
• Bamboo uses only a third of the water required by cotton.
• Bamboo is effective in CO2 sequestration, with an average of one hectare of bamboo stands absorbing about 17 tonnes of carbon annually. 
• Demand for viscose is expected to double over the next eight years, increasing pressure on deforestation. At DUALLE, we choose FSC-certified viscose to promote deforestation-free practices, support biodiversity, and protect local communities. 
• Our bamboo yarn is also OEKO-TEX® certified, guaranteeing that it is free from harmful substances and safe for human health.
• Bamboo fibre is considered 100% biodegradable in soil, though the decomposition rate and method can be affected by synthetic additives and chemical dyes used in textiles.
• A small percentage of polyamide and elastane is blended into the bamboo fabric to provide additional elasticity, a better fit and increased comfort.

Method: Eco Chemical Dye
Dyed in: Brescia, Italy

• Deep black and white are the most challenging colors to achieve with natural dyes, with no current textile industry solutions. Thus, we use an eco dye process for these colors, which is more responsible than traditional methods in terms of resource use and environmental impact.
• We also use eco dye methods when we need to achieve colors or a specific aesthetic look that is not attainable with natural dyes.

Recommended to wash at 30°C in DUALLE’s laundry bag with mild detergent, eco-labelled if possible.

Dry in shadow.
