“A pure, natural environment is vital to
children of all ages. Organic [textiles] are
not only gentle on the skin, but also safer
for the people who make the clothes, for
the farmers who grow the crops, and for
the environment.” —Bonnie Siefers
Bonnie Siefers
Bonnie
Siefers is an American
fashioni n
designer
and
eco-designer
who
believes
that cloth
ing
must
look
chic
and
feel
luxurious.
But
Bonnie
also
s
believes
that
fashion
designers
have
a
responsibilityn
toward
the
environment-friendly and
must
be egi
n to
use
certified
organic or eco
fabr
rics
(ecotextiles).
So
Bonnie
designs
apparel
made
from
ecoKashmere®,
s
a
soft, silky
fabric
that
incorporates the pulp
of
bambo oo
grass. The
result is clothes
that
are
soft and
flowing.
Also,
beca
ause
bamboo
absorbs
water
rapidly, it
produces fabrics
that
“wick” ”
moisture at
twice the
rate of
cotton.
Bamboo-based
fabrics
are
also o
highly
breathable,
anti-static,
and
naturally
antibacterial,
making th
hem
helpful
to
people with
sensitive or
allergy-prone
skin.
Ecotextiles
such as
bamboo, flax, cotton,
and jute
are
renewable,
biodegradable,
and
sustainable.
Bamboo
is very
suitable for
casual
clothing.
What other
clothing,
recreational,
ec
and home
products
could be
made using
bamboo?
