What are bamboo fabrics?

Bamboo fabrics are relatively new in the textile world but have quickly earned a permanent place thanks to their unique properties. Made from the fibers of the bamboo plant, they are known for their exceptional softness, breathability and natural sheen. Bamboo is often compared to silk or cashmere but also offers the practical benefits of cotton.

At Nooteboom Textiles, you will find a wide range of bamboo fabrics. From soft jersey and tricot to luxurious blends for fashion and interior. Bamboo combines comfort, style and sustainability in one.
