Cariloha

Founded in 2007, Cariloha is a worldwide leader in eco-consciously derived products that are solely crafted from bamboo-derived viscose. The company’s product line ranges from bed & bath products to multiple apparel categories. This was not always the case however, in the early days Cariloha sold watches, purses, and sunglasses. Due to poor sales and a lack of customer interest, the company decided to produce 5,000 bamboo shirts and managed to sell out of them in two weeks. This sudden success made the company shift their focus to a different line of products entirely. Since shifting to apparel, bed, and bath products the company has flourished and generated quite a buzz.

According to Cariloha’s website, the company is the only multi-store retailer to have 100% of their showroom products be derived purely from bamboo viscose. Cariloha’s bamboo apparel will keep you three degrees cooler than cotton, is sustainably sourced and renewable, and is softer to the touch. The company’s bamboo is sourced from a 10sq/mile farm located in Sichuan Province, China. It has been argued that bamboo is an eco-friendly material with extraordinarily little drawbacks. For one, bamboo is 100% biodegradable in comparison to other synthetic fabrics. Bamboo regenerates at a rapid rate (up to 4 feet per day depending on plant maturity), detoxifies the soil, and works to clean our air. Also, bamboo requires less input in terms of resources making it much more energy efficient in comparison to cotton which is famous for being a massive water hog. Cariloha’s eco-friendly approach is a key piece of their image as a sustainable company that is constantly looking towards the future. The company’s products have been featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Forbes, The View, and other major media outlets.

In addition to an online store, Cariloha has a global presence with retail showrooms in the United States, Mexico, and throughout the Carribean. The first three retail showrooms opened in Cozumel, Ocho Rios, and St. Thomas. Today, Cariloha has over 50 retail showrooms in 16 countries. On top of a strong global presence, Cariloha products have been exclusively featured on Royal Carribean, Disney, Carnival, Celebrity, Princess, and Norwegian Cruise Lines. Cariloha is a subsidiary to P&W Companies which own Cariloha and Del Sol Color Change, a sunglasses company. While it is true that Cariloha is competing with other apparel retailers, they have a huge edge with their bamboo viscose product line. As of today no other company out there is offering the same experience as Cariloha.

The Cariloha clothing line caters to both men and women with its outerwear, underwear, socks, sleepwear, and athletic wear. Indeed, Cariloha has gone to great lengths to build a robust product line with tons of different options. For example, the women’s clothing line features multiple styles of shirts ranging from V-neck t-shirts to tanks to dolmans – all priced at $35 or less. In addition to standard apparel, Cariloha offers customers Bamboo Fit™ athleticwear which will keep you cool and comfortable during your workout session. For the most part the men’s clothing line mirrors the women’s line. Men can choose from multiple shirt styles from the standard or Bamboo Fit™ line. You can also find a couple of different jackets available as well for the colder parts of the year. Do not miss Cariloha’s underwear line either where you can find men’s and women’s underwear in multiple graphic designs and colorways – all made of bamboo viscose of course.

When it comes to bedding, Cariloha has you covered with 100% bamboo viscose sheets, comforters, pillowcases, blankets, and duvet covers. Cariloha’s sheets are offered in multiple sizes ranging from twins to California kings and come in multiple colors depending on your taste. So, do not fret if you have a smaller bed, you can still enjoy the benefits of bamboo! The only area where sizing is limited is with their duvet covers which are made to fit either a king- or queen-sized bed. On Cariloha’s website you will find pillows to go with their pillowcases. Cariloha pillows are constructed with 100% bamboo viscose memory foam making them incredibly comfortable guaranteeing a good night’s sleep.

Another product that has placed Cariloha on the map is their bamboo matresses which have been featured on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. There are two classes of bamboo mattress on offer – classic and resort. The classic bamboo mattress is described as medium-firm and uses a single layer of bamboo memory foam. In comparison, the resort bamboo mattress is medium-soft and has two layers of bamboo memory foam, handles for lifting, an easy zip cover, and “transitional response memory foam.” Both styles of mattress are available in multiple sizes ranging from twins to kings. All Cariloha mattresses are produced with bamboo viscose and are hypoallergenic in case you are sensitive to certain materials.

In the bath department Cariloha offers customers towel sets, washclothes, handclothes, and bathrobes in multiple colors. Their towel sets include a bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth. In general, bath products can be quite expensive depending on the material used and overall level of detail. Cariloha’s towel sets are affordable at less than $50. Interested in a bath robe? Cariloha also makes bamboo viscose bathrobes that are unisex. You can choose between two different colors only though.

Fortunately, you are not only limited to shopping at the Cariloha online store or retail locations to find their awesome products. In addition to their retail stores and website, Cariloha products can be found through several retailers including Amazon, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond. Each of these sellers offer sales of their own on tons of products, including Cariloha products. We recommend that you check out sales on both the Cariloha website and other retailers.

All in all, Cariloha is the go-to company for bamboo-based apparel as well as bed and bath products. The fact their products are sustainable produced and guaranteed to outperform other materials such as cotton and synthetic fabrics makes them an interesting deviation from standard apparel and homeware brands. If you are concerned about sustainability and the ecological impact of your purchases, then a company like Cariloha is an excellent fit for those ideals. You do not have to look too far to see that a lot of love goes into this brand. Plus, they make alternative materials accessible and not cost a fortune with their affordably priced products. Most folks on a budget will be able to enjoy these products and can easily get their favorite items on sale to boot. What’s not to like?
