Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bamboo Viscose?

Cariloha bamboo viscose is a type of material made from bamboo pulp using our closed-loop process. Once the bamboo pulp is broken down, the fibers are carefully spun into yarn to create our soft, breathable fabrics.

Does Your Bamboo Fabric Need Special Care?

Cariloha bamboo fabric is easy to maintain and doesn't require special care. Simply wash your Cariloha items with similar colors on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

How Does Cariloha Bamboo Compare to Cotton?

Cotton is cozy and breathable, but Cariloha bamboo takes comfort to the next level. Our bamboo has natural allergy and odor-resistant properties and an ultra-soft feel to keep you feeling fresh and cool all year round.
