Feel it- wear it- love it. Experience the Cashmere touch
How it works?
Bamboo fabrics often refered to as “Nature’s Cashmere” are incredibly soft, smooth and comfortable with great drape and luxurious feel.
- DRY: Incredible natural breathability, very high absorbency qualities, “wicks” away sweat and instantly evaporates, does not stick to your skin, 4 times more absorbant than Cotton.
- FRESH: Naturally antibacterial and antifungal, Hygenic, Naturally eliminating odours.
- COOL: Naturally cool to the touch, fibre structure means constant ventilation, rapid moisture absorbtion and evaporation.
- COZY: Natural thermal qualities, cool when you are hot- warm when you are not.
Care:
Bamboo fabrics can be washed normally and will retain their properties over many wash cycles. Although fabric conditioners will not harm your garment they may reduce the performance of the fabric. Softeners and conditioners merely coat the fibres with chemical waxes which inhibit absorbency and breathability

Although we’re not experts on the medical side of the menopause, we’ve spent a lot of time researching the subject and have written this section to give you a brief overview, which we hope will help.

Every woman will eventually arrive at the menopause. It’s not something which can be avoided, how ever much we try to ignore it. We might discuss it surreptitiously, perhaps in whispers. It seems to be one of those taboo subjects – who wants to own up to having reached that stage in life where our fertility has decreased, our libido is apparently disappearing and our hair will thin and wrinkles increase? But hey – one good thing – no more periods!!
There are various terms used to describe the stages.
The word “Menopause” has come to be associated with the whole process, from beginning to end even though, medically, it really refers to your last period.

This is the time during when it all begins to change..
Technically it’s from when hormone levels start to change and periods become more irregular, through to your last ever period and perhaps a little longer, until your hormones have settled into their new pattern.
It can last anything from 2 years to 6 years, although in the early years the signs may be relatively minor, and the duration varies.
It ends 12 months after your last period – it is usual to wait for 12 months without a period before you can be sure it is really the last one.
This is what is more usually described as “going through the menopause”.
