The Shoo-foo lifestyle was born out of a desire to create change. As the founder of Shoo-Foo, my passion for eco-sustainability led me to pursue a degree in Ecology. During my studies, I followed my second passion, which was Chinese language. Soon after becoming fluent in Mandarin, I travelled to China, where I lived and worked for over 10 years.

While living in China, I became aware of the hidden and harmful practices behind the cotton production and manufacturing processes. Coincidently, it is at about the same time that I discovered the idea of bamboo as a resource for fabric. Being trained as an ecologist, I immediately saw the potential for bamboo to become an eco-friendly option in the textile world.

Determined to help make a change, I created Shoo-Foo, a line of bamboo bath towels, bed linens and baby basics made from organically grown bamboo. Ability to speak Chinese and relate to the culture allowed me to establish significant relationships with the members of the bamboo industry and to develop and maintain sustainable manufacturing practices for all our products.

Today, the Shoo-Foo team strongly believes that by supporting the production of eco friendly materials we are making a difference for our customers and our planet. We create eco friendly bamboo towels and linens to help reduce toxins in the environment and contribute to a healthier planet.
