Trend Hunter recently featured the eco-friendly Aussiebum Bamboo underwear, one of the first brands to utilize bamboo in its products, and it seems that bamboo is going to be featured in more and more environment friendly fashion lines.
The Spring 2008 Collection from fashion house Loyale Clothing features multiple pieces that are made from %100 bamboo and organic cotton. In addition to using natural material, Loyale donates 3% of its annual profits to Green Corps, a non-profit that trains the next generation of environmental leaders.
