Our Studio line and Intimates Bamboo have lots of great syles made of an ulta-soft and fluid blend of 66% rayon from organically grown bamboo, 28% organically grown cotton, 6% spandex.

PESTICIDE FREE
Both the cotton and bamboo in all our garments have always been and still are organically grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides, artificial fertilizers or any petroleum based products. This practice protects our soils, waterways, wildlife, farmers and textile workers.
SUSTAINABLE
In addition, bamboo is considered a sustainable crop because it can yield 20 times more fiber than trees in the same square footage of land, regenerates without plowing or replanting, can be grown on soil that is damaged by overgrazing, reduces runoff, holds more water in watersheds, and produces 30% more oxygen than trees thereby reducing the percetage of carbon dioxide blamed for global warming.
PETROLEUM FREE
As a base fiber, bamboo is natural in that it is not petroleum based. Like cotton and other natural fibers it breathes, thereby keeping you cooler. It also has a very soft and fluid feel and will not stick to your skin even on the hottest days. Since raw bamboo fiber goes through a similar process as other plant pups known collectively as rayons on the way to becoming fabric, the natural ability of bamboo to be antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, biodegradable and UV protective has not been proven.
In compliance with a recent FTC ruiling, future Blue Canoe content labels will have a precise content label stating the content as "rayon derived from organically grown bamboo."
