70% bamboo/30% organic cotton
Harvard Law grad lawyer-turned-designer Amber Hagen launched her first clothing line in 2004 after five grueling years as a corporate lawyer. Born and raised in Manhattan's East Village, Amber had been knitting for friends and family since high school- long before knitting was "the new yoga", long before the East Village was cool, and long before she realized the new yoga just might be her new career.
"Bamboo fabric is softer than cotton with a texture similar to silk. It is a naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic product grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides. Bamboo plants are very quick growers and do not require fertilizers or pesticides for a successful crop. They also require very little water and they can survive drought conditions as well as flooding. Bamboo is a sustainable and renewable resource as the bamboo plant is self replenishing. New shoots are continuously growing, ready to replace the old ones.
