Here are some of the reasons we love Bamboo Clothing:

• Sustainable
• Eco-friendly
• Naturally Organic- bamboo is grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Luxuriously soft - bamboo feels like silky cashmere.
• Comfortable and Anti-Static– Fabric made from bamboo is incredibly soft and luxurious, and has an anti-static nature, so it sits well against your skin without clinging.
• Absorbent- bamboo absorbs up to 60% more water than cotton. This makes it an excellent choice for drawing moisture off the body.
• Antibacterial– Bamboo is naturally and continuously antibacterial, staying fresh and odour free for longer.
• Breathable- the porous nature of the fibre makes it breathable and extremely comfortable against the skin.
• Thermo-regulating- keeps the wearer warm in cool weather, and cool in warm weather.
• Hypoallergenic- bamboo's organic and natural properties make it non-irritating so perfect for extra sensitive skin
• UV Protective– it cuts out 98% of harmful UV rays.

PAINTING STORY

Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming)

Mina Mina is an extremely important ceremonial site for
Napangardi and Napanangka women that is located
approximately 600kms west of Yuendumu, just east of Lake
Mackay and the WA border. The area has a ‘marluri’ (salt
lake or claypan) that is usually dry, without water. There are
also a number of ‘mulju’ (soakages), sandhills, and a large
stand of ‘kurrkara’ (desert oaks [Allocasuarina
decaisneana]). The Mina Mina Jukurrpa is an important
source of Warlpiri ritual knowledge and social organization,
particularly relating to the different roles performed by men
and women.
The ‘kirda’ (owners) of this country are
Napangardi/Napanangka women and
Japangardi/Japanangka men, who can depict portions of the
Mina Mina Jukurrpa in their paintings. There are a number
of different components of the Mina Mina Jukurrpa; artists
usually choose to depict one particular aspect. These can
include ‘karnta’ (women), ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks),
‘majardi’ (hairstring skirts/tassels), ‘ngalyipi’ (snakevine)
