Its seems to have taken forever but after much to-ing and fro-ing we have nailed it. Thanks to the help of Baily. A man very good at his job. We have finally settled on a prototype, and in to production they go. Our new Bamboo Socks should arrive by Xmas (fingers crossed xxx). I am so happy with them they are everything we wanted. A thicker terry lined boot sock, with no toe seam and a generous comfort top. A great alternative for the Aussie summer boot wearer. The feel is amazing, soft as silk, so easy to put on.
Bamboo fibre has some great intrinsic qualities. Apart from the eco-friendly nature of the fibre production i.e. it needs no chemicals to grow well, is water miser, and is the fastest growing plant on the planet. It is
Hypoallergenic - good for those of us with sensitive skin
Antibacterial - no more smelly feet
Seam Free - oh so comfortable
Durable - the fibre is incredibly strong
Silky feel - luxurious
Non-restrictive Comfort Top - good for diabetics
Super absorbent - sweat no more
Thermally efficient hollow fibre - warms in the cold, cools in the heat
Thick Full Cushion inner - for comfort
Our first range will be available in 3 colours (more to come) Black, bright Red and Natural.
