When Suitable indicates that something falls under the category ‘sustainable’ this means that the product is made from organic materials and that it was produced under fair conditions.

The sustainable fashion collection at Suitable is growing and so is this fine range of eco socks. Sustainable socks can include examples such as bamboo, organic cotton or organic woolen socks.

Bamboo

A textile type that is growing in popularity is bamboo and it's not without reason. Bamboo grows very fast and by cultivating it in an environmentally friendly way, the soil is not polluted. To make textile from bamboo, cellulose is extracted from the material, a substance also found in cotton fibers. This is then spun into threads woven into textile.

There are many benefits to bamboo:

• Bamboo is breathable and insulating
• It stays soft and supple
• It doesn't irritate, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin
• Bamboo absorbs a lot of moisture

Because the fabric absorbs moisture so well, sweat has no chance of transforming into bacterial growth. Eco socks made of bamboo are therefore super suitable for people who suffer from sweaty feet quickly.
