O2wear bamboo clothing launched in 2011 with a mission to provide quality everyday basics for women. Our focus was and remains, layering pieces made sustainably from silky soft, breathable bamboo fabric. Our entire bamboo clothing range from underwear and leggings, to tees, skivvies and cardigans are made from bamboo and in some cases, a little organic cotton too.
It was important to us to not only manufacture with sustainable and eco-friendly materials like bamboo, but to incorporate these principles in to all aspects of our business, including the design and packaging of our bamboo clothes. We’ve eliminated single use plastic from our supply chain and are committed to designing and producing bamboo basics that can be worn from season to season, year after year, the opposite of the fast fashion world.
If you are wondering why bamboo, you only have to try to find out! Over 14,000+ customer reviews can attest to the fact that bamboo is exceptionally soft and comfortable. For us and our focus on base layer thermals, bamboo was an obvious choice for a fabric that is to be worn in direct contact with the skin. Bamboo clothing is even a popular option for those with skin sensitivities like eczema due to the long smooth fibres. Furthermore, its tight weave means bamboo fabric insulates and keeps you warm while its natural characteristics still let your skin breathe. Traditional thermals made of polyester and synthetics often cause odour build up and leave your skin feeling sweaty.
Our bamboo fabric has been tested in Australia by ARPANSA and all our bamboo clothes (with the exception of our ivory colour) have been rated UPF50+ meaning they provide excellent sun protection. Our bamboo fabric is also OKEO-Tek 100 certified, which ensures no harmful chemicals are present in the fabric used in our bamboo clothing.
So if you are looking for some new building blocks for a capsule wardrobe, thermal base layers for the cold weather or you just like to layer, then our bamboo base layers are a great place to start. Delivery within Australia is free on all orders.
