HOW KIYA TOMLIN’S WOMEN’S CLOTHING IS MADE
December 17, 2019We are so proud that we hand make all of our women’s clothing in the Kiya Tomlin workshop located in Pittsburgh, PA. We are committed to supporting the resurgence of the American apparel industry and are proud that our products are cut and sewn in the USA. We also use a unique, sustainable Bamboo fabric.
For you, bamboo is amazingly soft! Softer, silkier and faster drying than cotton and drapes beautifully. It's a natural fabric that breathes well, resists wrinkling, resists static and has good moisture absorption. It's cool in the warmer months, and warm to wear in the colder seasons. And it's great for anyone with allergies or skin irritations.
For the environment, bamboo is an incredibly sustainable resource because it grows quickly (only 4-5 years!) and doesn't require a lot of water, care, or pesticides. It even cleans the air while it grows! It's also believed to retain it’s natural anti-microbial properties which help to reduce odor during wear. And bamboo clothes are 100% biodegradable!
