This Bamboo shirt is made from organically grown wild bamboo and features a loose fit, chest pocket, coconut shell-look buttons, and an exclusive fabric weave.

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

Lukarrara Jukurrpa (Desert Fringe-rush Seed Dreaming)This Jukurrpa belongs to women of the Nakamarra/Napurrurla subsections and to Jakamarra/Jupurrurla men. This Dreaming is associated with a place called Jaralypari, north of Yuendumu. Lukarrara (desert fringe-rush [Fimbristylis oxystachya & Fimbristylis eremophila]) is a grass with an edible seed. The seeds are traditonally ground on a large stone (‘ngatinyanu’) with a smaller stone (‘ngalikirri’) to make flour. This flour is mixed with water (‘ngapa’) to make damper cakes which are cooked and eaten. In Warlpiri traditional paintings iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements. Large concentric circles often represent the site of Jaralypari and also the seed bearing grass Lukurrara. ‘U’ shapes can depict the Karnta (women) collecting ‘lukarrara’ and straight lines are frequently used to portray seeds that fall down to the ground and are also collected by women using their ‘parrajas’ (wooden food carriers) and ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks).
