Men's Clearance / Eko Bamboo T-Shirt
The first ever Rapanui T-Shirt, from humble beginnings to a subtle and timeless classic. This is the comfiest, lightest and most breathable tee from the men's 2010 collection. The bamboo fabric has a feel of softness like no other t shirt. There's a reason why after three years it was a best seller.
This Bamboo T-Shirt was made in a Fairwear Foundation Audited factory, embroidered and hand-finished on the Isle of Wight.

About our Eko Bamboo T-Shirt
Our Bamboo products are made from a blend of 70% Bamboo viscouse, 30% Organic cotton. The bamboo is grown and processed in China, then shipped to the factory in Izmir, Turkey. The Organic cotton is grown in the Aegean - the area around Izmir - and transported to a local ginning factory by truck. The ginned cotton is then blended and spun into jersey fabric with the bamboo viscouse, then cut and sewn. This factory is audited by Fair Wear Foundation and gets a share of its energy from a Photovoltaic solar array on the roof.
Garments are shipped from Izmir to Trieste, then trucked by high capacity lorry to London. They are then trucked to Plymouth where the design is applied and hand finished with trims, and labels made locally. The finished product is shipped to, and dispatched from, Rapanui HQ on the Isle of Wight.
Award-Winning Traceability
It is impossible to make an ethical choice if you don’t know where clothing comes from and how it is made. Very few people do these days, even high-street stores themselves. At Rapanui you can investigate the whole supply chain and find out the details about where this item was made, who made it, and how it got here, from Seed to shop. It is called traceability.
