Bamboo Lily... clothing with a conscience

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are your clothes made?
Bamboo Lily™ is proudly made in Canada. Our fabric and clothes are all made locally and ethically in a working environment that is in compliance with Canadian labour laws. While some may argue that it is cheaper to manufacture overseas, we believe in supporting our local economy.

Are your clothes machine washable?
Yes, of course! Machine wash on Cold Cycle and toss in the dryer (if you must!) on Gentle Setting. It's better for the environment, if you let your garments hang to dry. (Bamboo clothing dries faster than most other fabrics) Do not use Bleach.

Why are you clothes labelled as Rayon from Bamboo?

The Textile Labeling Act and Regulations indicate `rayon' or `rayon from bamboo' should be used to identify the fibre. It is not legal to identify it simply as `bamboo'.  This "clarification" to the labeling regulations stems from the fact that `bamboo' is not a generic fiber name, and because of the processing involved in converting bamboo into a usable fibre. These issues are outlined on the Competition Bureau web site.

What is GOTS?

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a comprehensive Standard that covers all aspects of the production of all natural fibers including processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, exportation, importation and distribution. The final products may include, but are not limited to fiber products, yarns, fabrics and apparel.
