Bamboozled about bamboo?
It's no secret that we love bamboo at Zipster. We wholeheartedly believe that it's the best fabric for your little one and the environment that they live in.
Why we choose bamboo
It's incredibly soft
The buttery texture of bamboo clothing means that your little one stays comfortable. Bamboo clothing is often recommended for children with sensitive skin or eczema.
It's thermoregulatory
Because bamboo is a natural fibre, it helps regulate the temperature of your baby. This is particularly important at bedtime, when your baby's natural temperature fluctuates.
It's breathable
Perfect for both hot and cold weathers, bamboo helps your baby's skin to breath.
It's sustainable

Not only is it sustainable, but it's the softest fabric around, and its natural fibres mean it helps you and your baby get a better night sleep.
Read on to find out how we make bamboo into Zipsters, and why it is the perfect fabric for you and your little one.
Bamboo requires less water and pesticides in production
Compared to cotton and other traditional materials, bamboo required a whole lot less to be produced into clothing.
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world
Bamboo can grow to full size in just 3-4 months, compared to standard trees which can take 30+ years to grow. This makes it a super sustainable alternative due to its naturally renewing properties.
Bamboo grows upwards
Because bamboo shoots upwards, it requires significiantly less space than other materials to grow and harvest.
