I thought that cashmere-bamboo is the latest fabric in town when I spotted it last time at Sisley. But hell no. Coz apparently people at Aussiebum has come up with something much more inventive - fabric from banana fiber. Yup, you heard it right dude, coz they got new undies made of that material.
The undies which came in either brief or hipster are made from the weave of the bark from the banana tree and soft organic cotton to ensure ultimate comfort. Oh, it also got some lycra in it so that you still get that spandexy feel!. IMO, these undies are 'environmentally'-friendly coz you are reusing the byproduct of the tree (you know that the bark is always 'regenerate' by itself right?). And you can also boast to some technical fellas saying that this one is very sustainable coz it complete the LCA of the banana tree (LCA, as in life cycle analysis, fyi. :D)
Where to get it? If you happen to be in London, Selfridges is the place to go. Or buy it online at aussiebum.com.
So guys, next time... pack your 'banana' in a real one. =)
