Softer
Bamboo fibre has a smooth, rounded surface you feel from the first touch — up to three times softer than cotton. And it improves wash after wash instead of hardening.
The fabric · why bamboo
Real bamboo.
Our fabric
95% of what we make is bamboo. It's not marketing: it's the best fibre for a baby's skin.
All Lilulila clothing is woven from bamboo viscose (95%, with 5% elastane for the fit). We chose bamboo because it does three things conventional cotton doesn't do as well: it's softer, regulates temperature better and is naturally kinder to delicate skin.
On this page we tell you exactly why — with data, not adjectives.

The properties
What bamboo does for your baby.
Thermoregulating
Bamboo wicks moisture away from the skin and lets the fabric breathe. It warms when it's cold and disperses heat when the temperature rises — that's why one TOG works almost all year.
Kind to skin
Naturally hypoallergenic and breathable, it's a good choice for atopic or reactive skin. No pesticides or harmful substances to irritate baby.
Absorbs and dries fast
It absorbs more moisture than cotton and dries twice as fast. Ideal for muslins, bibs and those middle-of-the-night changes when you need it dry for the next day.
Renewable source
Bamboo grows fast and needs far less water than cotton to produce. A raw material that regenerates on its own, without replanting.
Certified
All our fabric carries OEKO-TEX® Std.100 class I certification, the most demanding category, designed specifically for products in contact with babies.
From plant to cot
How it becomes fabric.
An honest journey: bamboo doesn't go straight to the cot, it goes through a process. Here's ours.

We call it bamboo because it is — and we tell you how.
Bamboo viscose is a regenerated fibre: it starts from the bamboo plant and goes through a process to become soft fabric. We'd rather explain it than sell it with half-truths. The result is an incredibly soft, breathable and durable fabric, certified for contact with your baby's skin.
