Welcome to
BAMLife edition 2
We are back with the second instalment of
inspiring stories and articles from the BAM family.
You’ll find more news from our BAMbassadors,
some comment around yoga and sustainability,
and most importantly hear of some of your
adventures.
It is quite a milestone year for us at BAM. Our 10th
year in business, starting from my garage and spare
room at home and a mutual gut feeling that Bamboo
Clothing would change the world – in a very minor way
of course.
We have been busy developing our SS16 range. Our
Spring range has – so far - been our best selling ever and
as always we try to be the best, anywhere, when it comes
to customer service, so we’ll always look after you. ☺
We have welcomed new BAMbassadors, including Elise
Downing who is currently running around Britain and
existing BAMbassador Leon McCarron is walking 1,000
miles across the Middle East.
We hope you continue to share your stories. We love
reading them and we find it inspiring and motivating
to think that our little brand is growing up with such a
great bunch of customers.
Thanks a million and enjoy.
David
BAM Founder
Editor’s note
We continue to be delighted by the exploits of our
customers and the people we meet through running
BAM. It never ceases to amaze and helps keep us
motivated and energized, keeping the journey and
growth of BAM alive and real. Your stories include hang
gliding over Sydney, walking the Camino Trail and
competing in the World Championships for Triathlon
and that’s all before breakfast!
We really hope you enjoy BAMLife and that you feel
inspired to connect with like minded people, set goals
and explore more. You will find more stories and updates
on our blog site and social media so stay tuned. Please
share BAMLife with your friends and family.
Thanks for your support.
