Magic Bean Eco-friendly T-shirts

A quirky new range of T-shirts for green conscious women has been launched by Oxford-based company, Magic Bean. The fun designs with eco themes include ‘Ethics Girl’, ‘This T-shirt is Green’, and a flying pig next to the sentence ‘Global Warming is over’ to name just a few.

But it’s not just the tongue-in-cheek graphics that have an eco-friendly edge, it’s the actual fabric of the garments themselves. The whole range is made from a mix of naturally sustainable bamboo and organic cotton. And as an added bonus, when the garment finishes its useful life, it can return to nourish the earth, as it is 100% biodegradable!

Bamboo is the most sustainable of all natural fibres. It is extremely fast-growing – the type of bamboo used for making these T-shirts, commonly known as Moso, can reach a mature height of 75 feet in just 45 to 60 days. And because of its natural antibacterial properties, it needs no pesticides. Bamboo regenerates through an extensive root system that sends out an average of four to six new shoots per year. It can be harvested and re-harvested, and will grow again and again.

And for the fashion-conscious, the hand printed T-shirts are slim-fitted style with a scooped neckline and raw edged sleeves that will curl up nicely as the garment ages, achieving that that essential vintage look. The Tees are available from £22 in Small, Medium and Large sizes in a vibrant colour palette of Leaf Green, Black, White and Red.
