Bamboo-ya

Bamboo fabric, besides being sustainable and naturally antimicrobial is also incredibly soft. Perfect for baby clothing and yoga gear, designer Lara Miller has created a hand-loomed cardigan from this wonderful grass textile. Ms. Miller seems to have tipped her hat to avant-garde designer Yoji Yamamoto, known for his drapey, oversized silhouette and billowing garments. Designed to be worn upside down as well for yet another intriguing shape, you'll get tons of mileage out of this lovely wrap. ($155)

Bamboo? I love new natural materials in clothing, all for it.

Hey, this garment is only partially made of bamboo- one of the other fibers is viscose which is horribly polluting to produce. Sustainable my foot!
