NEW ORGANIC AND BAMBOO FABRICS

Our partners are working hard producing new and exciting fabrics with the latest hot selling fibers. One of the latest is a lightweight 100% cotton certified organic slub fabric with a linen look, excellent for fashion tees. We have also sampled unbelievably soft bamboo and bamboo blend terry cloth, french terry and velour. A fabric that has commanded alot of attention is the bamboo/organic cotton/spandex jersey, which we have been useing for fashion tops and dresses. The bamboo fabrics dye richly and are competitively priced with rayons. Price points for these fabrics run from $4-$5.75 a yard, and add about $$1.75-$2.25 in cost to a comparable garment made from a combed cotton fabric. The luxurious hand and marketing panache bring enough value for better priced garments as to warrant the added cost.
