Our Bamboo Process
From our bamboo fields to the fabrics you love, Cariloha transforms responsibly grown bamboo into soft, sustainable bamboo products. This renewable plant is carefully harvested and processed to create sustainable bedding, towels, and apparel that are soft on your skin and the planet.
How Bamboo Goes from Plant to Everyday Comfort
1
Harvest
Seasoned bamboo stalks are cut into small pieces of raw bamboo, while younger shoots continue to grow.
2
Processing
The raw bamboo is responsibly processed into pulp and dried into parchment-like sheets, preparing the fibers for fabric.
3
Milling
Once thoroughly dried, these bamboo sheets are milled into a soft, fluffy bamboo-viscose or bamboo-lyocell material.
4
Spinning
Finally, the fibers are separated and spun into yarn for knitting and weaving, creating Cariloha's cozy, naturally cooling products.
Enjoy the Luxurious Feel of Bamboo
By transforming self-replenishing bamboo into luxuriously soft bamboo-viscose or bamboo-lyocell fabrics, Cariloha offers a collection of products that are soft, cool, clean, and green. Whether it's our cozy sheets, plush pillows, or comfy apparel, our bamboo fabrics are breathable, gentle, and perfect for everyday use.
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.
