Bamboo Island: How It All Began

Bamboo Island: How It All Began

Our journey with bamboo started in the most unexpected way—trying to find the perfect bed sheets for our son. He was always complaining about itchy fabrics, so we went on the hunt for something softer. Enter bamboo sheets. We’d heard they were silky smooth and super comfy, and wow, they did not disappoint! One sleep on those, and we were hooked.

That was just the beginning. Next, we discovered bamboo clothing, and well… let’s just say, it became an obsession! (Seriously—once you try bamboo, there’s no going back.) Not only is it ridiculously soft, but it’s also better for the planet, which made us love it even more. The more we wore it, the more we wanted to share it with others.

Then 2020 happened. Like everyone else, with the COVID-19 pandemic we had to slow down and rethink what really mattered. It gave us time to reflect, to ask ourselves what we truly wanted to do—and to set an example for our four kids about making mindful, sustainable choices.

That’s when we decided to create our own label, Bamboo Island. We started mainly with sleepwear, but as our love for bamboo grew, so did our collection. Now, we offer not just pyjamas and loungewear but also bamboo underwear, everyday clothing, and even a new kids' collection! Seeing our vision come to life has been an incredible journey, and we love that we have many repeat customers - it gives us a real buzz to see familiar names pop up on our order screen.

We’re always adding to our collection, handpicking pieces that are soft, stylish, and good for the planet. From dreamy bamboo nighties and pyjamas to flowy dresses and comfy lounge pants, everything we stock is all about feeling great and living sustainably.

We’ve spent so much of our lives rushing, but now, we’re choosing to slow down. Slow living, slow fashion, slow travel—these are the things we believe in. Bamboo Island isn’t just a business; it’s our way of life, and we’re so excited to share it with you.

Welcome to our island!
