Bamboa

Bamboa brings the natural luxury and sustainable performance of bamboo to your home and wardrobe from its flagship boutique in the heart of Hong Kong. Founded in 2008 by environmental activist Julia Washbourne, the brand is one of the pioneers in sustainable bedding and clothing, offering a meticulously curated range of products designed to replace conventional, resource-heavy fibers with a cleaner, greener alternative. Every item sold supports the Grow Bamboo Initiative, planting bamboo in Sri Lanka and Nepal to fight climate change and empower local rural communities.

At the PMQ concept store on Aberdeen Street, you will discover a world where everyday essentials are transformed by the remarkable properties of bamboo fiber. The collection spans ultra-soft bedding sets, spa-quality towels, and a full line of apparel for women, men, and children. The space is designed as a sanctuary of texture and calm, allowing customers to touch and feel the difference that bamboo makes — a silky, breathable softness that conventional cotton simply cannot match.

Bedding & Bath Collections

The bedding line is the cornerstone of the Bamboa experience, built around the signature Silky Bliss bamboo fabric. This 100% bamboo material is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and cool to the touch, making it an ideal choice for hot sleepers and Hong Kong’s humid climate. Customers consistently report that the bedding keeps them comfortable throughout the night, with many noting relief from night sweats and skin irritation.

• Silky Bliss Duvet Sheet Sets – Complete sets available in eleven curated colors from Cool Grey to Rose Water and Midnight Blue. Each set includes a duvet cover and fitted sheet, with optional pillowcases available separately.
• Fitted Sheets & Duvet Covers – Individual pieces for mixing and matching, with a smooth, wrinkle-resistant finish. Tailor-made services are available for custom sizing to fit non-standard mattresses.
• Bamboo Pillowcases & Sleep Masks – Silky-soft pillowcases that minimize friction on hair and skin, plus sleep masks crafted from the same gentle fabric for a truly restorative night’s rest.
• Bamboo Duvets & Pillows – The Inside and Out collection fills bedding with natural bamboo fiber for a complete sleep system that regulates temperature and resists allergens.

Towels & Bath Essentials

Bamboa’s bath range transforms the daily ritual of showering and bathing into a spa-like experience. The towels are crafted from bamboo viscose, which is naturally antibacterial, highly absorbent, and remains soft wash after wash without the need for chemical fabric softeners.

• 3-Piece Towel Bundles – Coordinated sets including face, hand, and bath towels in eight versatile colors such as Blue, Grey, Cream, and Rose.
• Individual Towels – Face towels, hand towels, bath towels, and an extra-large XL bath towel sold separately for those who want to build their own collection.
• Bath Accessories – Bamboo body brushes, safety shavers, cotton buds, and other essentials for a plastic-free bathroom routine.

Apparel for Everyday Comfort

Bamboa’s clothing line takes the cooling, hypoallergenic benefits of bamboo fabric and applies them to versatile everyday pieces. The bamboo jersey used in the apparel collection drapes beautifully, resists wrinkles, and moves with the body — ideal for Hong Kong’s active, on-the-go lifestyle. Frequent travelers especially appreciate how bamboo garments pack light, resist odors, and stay fresh through long journeys.

Women’s Collection

• Jersey T-Shirt Dresses – The Lanikai dress comes in four vibrant colors like Ocean Breeze and Lemon Sorbet, offering a flattering, effortless silhouette for day or evening.
• Tank Dresses & T-Shirts – Easy layering pieces including the Kailua tank dress and a range of V-neck and round-neck tees crafted from the Silky Bliss and Softee bamboo fabrics.
• Sleepwear & Loungewear – Camisole bundles, pajama sets, and jogger pants that feel like a second skin, helping regulate body temperature for deeper sleep.
• Underwear & Basics – Bamboo hipster briefs and camisoles that are breathable, seamless under clothing, and ideal for sensitive skin.

Men’s Collection

• Bamboo T-Shirts – The Softee series includes round neck and V-neck tees that customers describe as the softest shirts they have ever worn, often prompting a switch away from cotton entirely.
• Joggers & Lounge Pants – Relaxed-fit pants with a tapered leg, perfect for travel, working from home, or casual weekends.
• Tank Tops & Briefs – Performance basics that stay cool and dry during workouts or daily wear.

Kids & Baby

• Muslin Swaddle Cloths – Lightweight, breathable wraps in beautiful patterns that parents love for their softness and babies love for the comfort.
• Panda Poncho Towels – Adorable hooded towels that make bath time fun and wrap little ones in gentle warmth.

Accessories & Home Goods

Beyond bedding and clothing, Bamboa extends its bamboo philosophy to a curated selection of home and lifestyle accessories. Each piece demonstrates the versatility of bamboo as a design material — from sleek sunglasses to sculptural salad bowls.

• Bamboo Sunglasses – Lightweight frames with polarized lenses, combining style with sustainability.
• Grande Bamboo Salad Bowl – Wide and beautifully grained, with a food-safe finish that is easy to clean and serves as a striking table centerpiece.
• Scrunchies & Hair Accessories – Silky Bliss scrunchies that prevent hair breakage and creasing, available in multiple shades.
• Scarves & Bracelets – Finishing touches that showcase bamboo’s natural luster and versatility.

The Grow Bamboo Initiative & Sustainability Commitment

Every purchase at Bamboa directly funds bamboo planting projects in Sri Lanka and Nepal. Through the Grow Bamboo Initiative (GBI), the company has established community bamboo plantations that sequester carbon, restore degraded land, and provide sustainable livelihoods for rural families. Bamboo grows to full maturity in just three to five years — compared to thirty to forty years for hardwood trees — and produces thirty percent more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.

Customers can deepen their impact by purchasing a Boo-Coin Coaster, which triggers the planting of ten additional bamboos. The initiative currently supports a dozen families in the Kavre District of Nepal, where one hectare of bamboo has already been planted and more projects are underway.

Bamboa’s commitment extends to every link in the supply chain. Products are designed to be one hundred percent biodegradable at the end of their useful life, and the company avoids harmful chemical treatments. The brand is recognized as a leader in sustainable lifestyle design, with certifications and awards that reflect its dedication to environmental and social responsibility.

Why Customers Choose Bamboa

Bamboa has earned a loyal following among Hong Kong locals, expats, and eco-conscious visitors who appreciate the measurable difference bamboo makes in their daily lives. Customers with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema report that bamboo bedding and clothing reduce irritation and improve comfort. Women experiencing night sweats or hot flushes find relief in the temperature-regulating properties of the Silky Bliss sheets. Long-time users note that their bamboo towels and bedding have lasted over a decade with weekly washing — a testament to the fiber’s natural strength and the brand’s quality construction.

Beyond the products themselves, shoppers value the personalized service available at the PMQ boutique. The store offers in-house tailoring for custom sheet sizes, expert care advice to extend product life, and a loyalty program that rewards repeat customers. A mystery discount is available for first-time newsletter subscribers, and gift cards make it easy to share the bamboo experience with friends and family.

Serving the Hong Kong Community

Bamboa operates two physical locations to serve customers across Hong Kong Island. The PMQ flagship store at 35 Aberdeen Street, S304, in the Staunton block of Soho, Central, is open daily from twelve noon to seven in the evening. A second concept store at 17A Shelley Street in Mid-Levels, directly opposite the Jamia mosque by the escalator, welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 12:30 to 7:30 PM and weekends from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The PMQ location, set within the creative hub of the former Police Married Quarters, places Bamboa among Hong Kong’s most innovative designers and artisans. This setting reflects the brand’s ethos of reimagining traditional materials for contemporary life. Public transport access is straightforward via the Central MTR station and the Mid-Levels escalator, and the stores are LGBTQ+-friendly and proudly women-led, creating an inclusive shopping environment for all.
