Natural Bamboo Comfort For Baby
When Tamre Sutphen’s son was born, the microfiber/polyester blanket gifts from friends and family caused him to break out in a rash. So was born Sutphen’s SHI SHU BABY, her line of baby blankets made from natural fibers bamboo and cotton.
“When I started researching alternative fabrics/fibers, I discovered bamboo and fell in love with its qualities,” says designer Sutphen. “Bamboo is antibacterial, soft as silk, keeps you cool in the summer, keeps you warm in the winter and most importantly…BREATHES.”

The blankets are handmade 60% cotton and 40% bamboo with 100% bamboo sateen trim on looms in northern India. A majority of the workers are mothers who work while their children are in school. About a year ago, Sutphen visited India and discovered the rich, handmade bamboo resource there.
SHI SHU BABY Blankets ($88) and Snugglers ($29) come in colours blue, pink, lemon, celedon and lavender. Sutphen designed a larger signature bamboo/cotton SHI SHU HOME throw.
