A basic top can be so much more when made with a silky soft bamboo-based fabric with a little spandex for stretch and shape retention. Not only is bamboo the optimal sustainable crop, it also becomes a super-soft drapey fabric that anyone can appreciate when wearing it.
At Blue Canoe we used only plant-based fibers because they are natural, breathable and better for the earth. Bamboo is one of these sustainable fabrics. As a crop, bamboo requires less water than other crops. It requires no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, so growing bamboo is a very clean enterprise. It also helps balance global warming by producing 30% more oxygen than trees. Bamboo grows very quickly and doesn’t require replanting or plowing, which helps retain a rich topsoil. With bamboo you can not only feel good in your clothes, but good about your clothes!
Our basic bamboo tee is cut to skim the body without being form-fitting. The spandex provides a comfortable stretch. It’s a great top to wear on its own or as an under layer with sweaters. It’s so soft you might want to wear it as a sleep shirt. We offer it in 6 beautiful shades every season, all achieved with non-toxic dyes and always made in America.
