Cariloha’s made-from-bamboo woven shirts are available exclusively at Cariloha stores.

Bamboo clothing, bedding and accessories retailer, Cariloha, recently launched its Island Collection woven shirts, which are made from eco-friendly bamboo-fabric blends and designed by Cariloha’s product and design team. Available exclusively at Cariloha stores, the new bamboo Island Collection not only broadens Cariloha’s Bamboo Style™ line for men, but also provides customers with a comfortable button-front shirt that’s adaptable and fashionable enough to be worn in multiple settings and occasions.

Cariloha’s Island Collection shirts are made from Cariloha’s proprietary viscose-from-bamboo blend, which consists of 40% bamboo and 60% organic cotton for improved structure and drape. Available in eight different colors (White – Classic Woven, Black & Navy – Vertical-Stripe Dobby Woven, Lavender & Shore Blue – Micro-Stripe Woven, Ocean Green, Gray, Salmon – Chambray Woven). Retail price is $80.

“Cariloha Bamboo Island Collection shirts are tailored to let customers live a lifestyle of comfort and natural luxury,” said Scott Brady, Cariloha AVP of Communications. “You can feel the softness, be comfortable, and stay cool in any setting and wear the clothing you love.”

Cariloha’s New Island Collection Men’s Woven Shirts are principally a relaxed-fit, light-weight, breathable, full-button shirt. They have a clean, classic look that pairs well with shorts, jeans or dress pants. Cariloha branding labels appear at the bottom of the button placket, along with updated collar taping, which features a combination of self-fabric and micro grosgrain ribbon for added styling and comfort.

“If customers are from a warm, humid climate, the hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking properties of the bamboo shirts keep customers cooler and help prevent skin irritation, unlike non-bamboo shirts,” said Brady. “Allergies, odors and heat are repelled easier because of the naturally occurring bamboo properties, which make the shirts ideal for a long, hot day away from home.”

Cariloha Bamboo woven shirts come with a 90-day quality guarantee. If the shirts don’t live up to the customers’ expectations, Cariloha will replace them without reservation. The woven shirts are machine washable and tumble dried low, so maintenance is easy and worry-free. They get even softer after washing.

Cariloha Bamboo Maxi Dress Review
By Gina’s Library

This dress is so comfortable and soft. This dress is the softest article of clothing I own. I love that it’s black so you can accessorize with different sweaters/jackets and any color. I know I will be wearing this dress a lot in the Spring/Summer.

This dress comes down to my ankles. I love that since I have a lot of scars on my ankles from ankle surgeries. It’s also hard to find clothes in my size that are cute and comfortable! This dress definitely fits both bills.

This dress is perfect for both daytime and nighttime. I think it’s a perfect date night dress.

You know the saying, “every woman should own a little black dress?” Well, this one is mine.

Read her entire review of the Cariloha Bamboo Maxi Dress here.

This smiling German Shepherd knows all too well how you feel after arriving home from a hard day’s work, collapsing onto your bamboo bed sheets, and saying to your spouse, “I’m dog-tired,” which is quickly followed by a sigh of comfort from the softness of your sheets.

Dennis, former Onboard Media Shopping Guide, whom you may have met while sailing the Caribbean Seas on a luxury cruise ship, sent us this message about his dog, Zino, who is an explosive-detector dog that works extremely hard to protect others from harm.

He took over Dennis’ bamboo sheets, and he seems really relaxed and happy about it, too. Dennis said, “The bamboo sheets are keeping me and Zino cool and relaxed in Baghdad.”

Glad to know that Cariloha Bamboo is helping you out on those dog-tired days. Thanks for sending us your pictures.

True to the Cariloha Bamboo brand, this new shirt launch takes simple, yet modern designs and combines them with a born-in-the-islands touch that Cariloha has mastered. This eclectic lineup of island-inspired, eco-oriented designs will allow you to enjoy a lifestyle and rhythm that certifies you’re on vacation and there’s no telling when you’ll be back.

Cariloha Bamboo tees are Soft, Cool, Clean and Green and are 100% guaranteed for comfort, breathability and SOFTNESS, or Cariloha will exchange it without reservation. All bamboo shirts are pre-shrunk and true to size.

Cariloha: Bamboo Sportswear for Fitness Training
By Little Review Corner

Fitness training seems to be a hot topic for me because it truly has become a focus in my life over the past couple years. The idea of fitness training for women seems to be key, as I’ve seen many women-only gyms pop up in recent years and many clothing companies begin to design sportswear (aka workout clothes) for every occasion. Whether it be yoga clothes or simply some other type of workout wear, it is everywhere! So what is the difference between other types of sportswear and Cariloha’s line? One simple thing — bamboo.

I have become a huge convert to bamboo clothing and bamboo bedding in the past couple years!

The primary reason? It’s simple — I love the softness and the way bamboo wears! I feel good and I look great, too!

Cariloha’s line of activewear also boasts an amazing combination of factors that make them easy to love when I am working out. Each item features the Four P’s to thriving while being active: Athletic Performance. Odor Prevention. Skin Preservation. Sun Protection.

And, I put these pieces through the paces! I wore the [bamboo] Incline Jacket in all types of weather and conditions. I wore it outside while I was power walking — in drizzle, in humidity and in beautiful weather, too! I was pretty amazed by how well this jacket stood up through this variety of weather conditions! Even in the humidity, I remained cool. In the drizzle, it dried quickly. And, in all weather (even when I was sweating buckets) this jacket never took on that nasty odor that I associate with working out! I have to mention how cute this jacket is as well! I love the combination of the white jacket with the orange and pink threading — I’ve received more compliments on it when I’m out walking and at the gym than I can count!

I paired the jacket up with Cariloha’s [bamboo] Racerback Cross Tank, which I found to be incredibly cool and comfortable! I like the fact that the fabric has good stretch to it but also fits well. I love this tank so much, in fact, I’ve worn it numerous times to the gym as well as underneath several deep V-tops that I own. Cozy, comfy and cool — my favorite combination!

I love these pieces so much – I really want to get myself a pair of [bamboo] Training Capris, too!

Cariloha Bamboo Sheets Review
By Your Golden Ticket

I have had my current sheets for longer than I care to admit. I knew that it was time for a new set, and so I did one of my favorite things to do: research! I started combing the Internet trying to find the best sheets out there, and I discovered Cariloha Bamboo Sheets. I’m not sure if I’ve been living under a rock or was just oblivious to the wonder that are Bamboo Sheets , but I am so excited to tell you all about them!

I did know that bamboo is the most sustainable, renewable resource on the planet, but I had no idea it was so incredibly versatile! Cariloha Bamboo is beyond silky. It’s twice as soft as cotton and is even softer than 1,000-thread-count Egyptian cotton. When I first heard that claim, it was hard to believe but, let me tell you, I have never felt sheets that are softer than my Cariloha Bamboo sheets.

Beyond being extremely soft and environmentally friendly, I love the fact that Cariloha Bamboo sheets keep you 3 degrees cooler in the summer than cotton sheets due to the moisture-wicking properties of bamboo. My husband is an extremely hot sleeper, and we have both noticed a huge difference since using our new sheets. Cariloha also says that its temperature-regulating properties will keep you insulated and warmer in the winter. I have not yet used my sheets in the cooler months, but I do believe that this will prove to be very true.

I love my sheets! They are fantastic! I really appreciate the fact that my Cariloha Bamboo sheets are extra deep fitted (up to 18’ deep), that they are hypoallergenic, antibacterial and, to top it off, they are easily machine washable. I have also heard that unlike cotton, bamboo sheets will not discolor over time. The only possible drawback is that they come out of the dryer very wrinkly. At first I was concerned but as soon as they were on the bed they were perfect. I do still recommend taking them out of the dryer immediately.

Cariloha Bamboo carries their amazing sheets in several different colors, including blue, sage, ivory, tan and white. They are priced starting at $99. In addition to their sheets, Cariloha Bamboo also carries towels, robes, blankets, clothing for men and women, along with accessories. Cariloha Bamboo is a fantastic company, and these sheets are nothing short of quality.

Cariloha: Arden Shorts Review and Giveaway
By Frugal Shopping

The [Cariloha Bamboo] Arden Shorts have a chic raw-edge, sewn-in Cariloha custom waist label with bamboo-soft tagging, Cariloha-green interior piping, and two front pockets. The back of the shorts have two pockets with back-pocket branding tags.

The Bamboo Arden Shorts are made with 60% organic cotton and 40% viscose from bamboo. They have a relaxed fit and a standard-rise cut. The shorts have contrast stitching that gives them a stylish look that lets me wear the shorts around town, camping or anywhere. They have a 13-inch inseam, and the button loop lets you pull the legs up or down allowing you to wear them longer or shorter by 2.5 inches. You can choose from three different colors: eggplant (as shown above), butter and taupe in multiple sizes.

These bamboo shorts are so soft and very comfortable. Since I have short legs, I use the button hook to shorten them to fit me better. I wore these on a 99-degree day and didn’t have the sweaty wet pants that I normally would have gotten from other shorts I wear. The shorts are machine washable in cold water and can be tumble dried on low heat. It’s recommended that you not use fabric softener other than fabric sheets since they cause the softener to cling to the bamboo fibers causing the fabric to lose its soft quality over time.

Cariloha makes accessories, apparel, and bed and bath products made out of bamboo. The name [Cariloha] is a combination of the Caribbean Style and Hawaiian Aloha. Why Bamboo? Bamboo is the most sustainable resource on the planet and provides full UVA/UVB protection. It is twice as soft as cotton and as soft as cashmere and silk for less money. Bamboo is absorbent allowing moisture to naturally wick away from the skin, making it an antibacterial, hypoallergenic and a fast drying fabric. Cariloha’s Bamboo fibers are 3 degrees cooler than cotton and their eco-luxury bamboo blend is biodegradable and sustainable, making it a clean and green choice for earth friendly consumers.
