Bamboo EcoWear

WELCOME!

May 9th, 2008

Welcome to our blog.  We know you have lots to do and many choices when it comes to helping the enviornment.  We appreciate any and everything you can do.  If we work together we’ll get things done sooner rather than later.

I just wanted to tell you that we now have MADE IN US items.  Not everything in our collection is made in the US.   FYI fiber all comes from the same factory in China.   To date I don’t know of anyone in the US making bamboo fiber from which to make yarn to knit or weave clothing.

We have been to the factory in China to see first-hand how our garments are made and we are satisfied that the workers are treated well; they are paid a fair wage; there are no kids working there and the working conditions are good.  While China has been having some image problems lately; we know that the people who make our goods are being treated well by their employer and they are working hard to improve their station in life.  They earn enough money to improve their quality of life and they deserve that.  Without our business the average employee would not have the luxury of having a job and an income.  We hope you will embrace the humane side of manufacturing in China because we are helping the lower class people to help themselves.  I like that.
