Meet the Makers
Each pair of our Bumboo bamboo underwear is the result of thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and ethical collaboration. From brushstrokes to bamboo fibres, every detail is made with care – and by people who share our belief that beautiful things should also be kind to the planet and the people who make them.
Our Fabric Designs
Our beautiful prints are born from both creativity and collaboration. Designed in-house by our founder and the incredibly talented artist, Alison Salter, each hand-painted pattern tells a part of the Bumboo story.
From the playful brushwork of our signature bamboo motif – where you’ll find the words “Bumboo Lingerie” lovingly hidden among the leaves – to the delicate blossom woven through our Original Bumboo design (a gentle nod to our founder), every detail carries meaning.
Alison’s artistic flair and our shared passion for colour, joy, and sustainability come together in our beautiful prints. The designs celebrate artistic talent, individuality and bespoke design – a gentle reminder that self-expression can begin with the layers closest to our skin.
Beauty can be found in the smallest details – Elizabeth; Founder
Our Fabric
Once perfected, our designs move to our first factory, where nature meets innovation. Here, bamboo is transformed from FSC-certified forests into our luxuriously soft bamboo lyocell fabric. This is done using the closed-loop lyocell process – a method that uses organic solvents and lower levels of water. More than 99% of the organic solvents are recovered and reused, thereby keeping waste and the environmental impact to a minimum.
The resulting bamboo fibre is spun, then knitted into a smooth, breathable fabric. To give it that gentle stretch and lasting comfort, we blend in a bio-based elastane alternative – ensuring a performance fabric that allows our underwear to move naturally, with you.
Finally, our bespoke, hand-painted designs are printed onto the fabric using low-impact techniques and under OKEO-TEX STANDARD 100® certification, bringing each Bumboo design to life in lasting colour.
This is where creativity, innovation and sustainability intertwine – creating a fabric that celebrates colour, comfort and conscience.
Our Underwear
The finished fabric then travels a short distance to our second factory, led by an inspiring female manager who runs her team with care, respect, and integrity. In this bright, well-run space, each piece of underwear is carefully cut, sewn, and finished by skilled makers who take genuine pride in their work.
Our four signature styles, intentionally designed to flatter, fit, and last, are trimmed with soft, elasticated lace and crafted to minimise waste. In fact, our production process reduces fabric waste to just 2%, far below industry averages.
Behind every stitch lies a commitment to craftsmanship and conscience – because comfort shouldn’t come at the cost of people or the planet.
Our Packaging
Even our packaging has a story. Designed with the same level of thought and creativity as our underwear, it’s plastic-free and made from unbleached bamboo paper.
Each box is carefully constructed without adhesives, folded together like origami to hold your underwear securely and beautifully. Every detail – from the brand mark to the care instructions – is printed using vegetable oil dyes, creating a finished box that’s as responsible as the product it contains.
Creativity, innovation, and sustainability flow through every layer of what we do – right down to the final fold.
Bamboo lyocell fabric
Softness with substance. Our bamboo lyocell is cloud-soft, breathable, and backed by science – made in a closed-loop process that reuses 70% of water and solvents. Comfort you can feel, science you can trust.
Labels that care
Goodbye scratchy labels, hello long-lasting comfort. We digitally print our care labels onto the fabric, reducing material usage and eliminating last-minute plastic introduction. We also point you to clevercare.info to keep your Bumboo underwear feeling fresh, wash-after-wash.
The comfort evolution
We’re evolving with innovation. Our fabrics and elasticated trims are already soft and secure, and we’re continually exploring next-generation solutions to make them even more comfortable, durable and, of course, sustainable.
Feel good. Look good. Do good.
Softness that comes from nature, science, and human care. We’ve thought about every step of your underwear’s journey, so you can feel the comfort and live life in full colour.
