Fashion - Cosabella Bamboo and Eden Collections

For 25 years, Cosabella has been making some darn-sexy Italian-Floridian lingerie, swimwear and beachwear. (The collections are designed in Miami, handcrafted in Italy.)

This month, Cosabella introduces a collection that is as good for the Earth as for a lady's figure.

The Eden Collection is made from a blend of bamboo and micro-modal. Since both ingredients are natural, the lingerie is completely biodegradable. Cosabella guarantees that the fabric is fully-natural.

Bamboo, as we've mentioned before, has lots of green properties - it grows quickly (making it an extremely renewable resource) and usually requires little treatment with pesticides or herbicides. Modal is a fiber that is made from the pulp of beech trees.

Cosabella claims that this combination of bamboo and modal makes the Eden collections antibacterial, odor preventative, anti-static and 4x more absorbent than cotton.

As part of Cosabella's Fall '08 collections, Eden should ship this month and be available in stores through March of next year.

If the stores you visit are out of Eden, don't worry - Cosabella plans to make introduce new bamboo/modal blend lingerie each season. Looks like paradise isn't lost after all...
