Nature-Based Activewear Fabrics: Meet Mallea, Enduro & Novea
At BAM, innovation is in our DNA. While bamboo was our starting point, we’ve grown far beyond it…
We’re continually pushing boundaries to create activewear that feels amazing, performs brilliantly, and treads lightly on the planet. By blending nature-based materials with smart design, we’ve developed standout fabrics like Mallea, Enduro, and Novea—each crafted to deliver on comfort, performance, and sustainability, without ever compromising on style.
And don’t worry—bamboo is still a core part of our range, so the signature styles you love aren’t going anywhere.

Mallea: The Best Fabric for Yoga & Pilates
Composition: 90% Bamboo Modal, 10% Elastane
“The perfect yoga fabric didn’t exist, so we developed it ourselves” – Emily Lawrence, Senior Garment Tech.
Created with yoga lovers in mind, Mallea has an exceptionally smooth drape and luxurious handle that feels soft against the skin from the first wear. The 10% elastane delivers four-way stretch and gentle compression, while the moisture-wicking properties of the bamboo viscose keeps you feeling fresh through every pose.
Composition: 64% Bamboo Viscose, 24% Organic Cotton, 12% Elastane.
Introducing our most loved fabric innovation. Enduro blends viscose derived from bamboo with organic cotton and elastane to create a fabric that’s genuinely built for real life. The bamboo viscose contributes moisture-wicking properties and a smooth, soft handle; the organic cotton adds structure and absorbency; and the elastane gives you the stretch and opacity you need – staying completely solid even in the deepest squat.
Durable, comfortable, and made without compromise on materials, Enduro moves between the gym, the commute, and the sofa. We truly believe it’s a world-class fabric for leggings.
Composition: 64% Bamboo Viscose, 29% Cellulose Acetate (Naia™), 7% Elastane
Novea is our latest innovation, designed to challenge synthetics. Blending bamboo viscose with Naia™ it delivers a lightweight, quick-drying fabric with a fresh feel, designed to keep up with high-intensity workouts without relying on synthetics.
No polyester. No nylon. Just plant-derived performance.
Sustainability Beyond the Fabric
For us, fabric innovation goes beyond creating new materials—it’s about enhancing your active lifestyle while being kind to the planet. Mallea, Enduro, and Novea reflect our focus on comfort, performance, and sustainability. But our commitment to sustainability extends beyond fabric development. When you choose BAM, you’re not just getting high-quality activewear – you’re supporting a brand dedicated to positive environmental change.
