If you haven’t yet discovered the benefits of bamboo clothing, you should! It’s not only unbelievably soft but it’s breathable (perfect for Queensland summer), easy to care for (see ya, dry-clean only), 100 percent biodegradable and eco-friendly, so it’s good news for the environment too. If you’re keen to get some bamboo in your life, The Great Beyond is popping up at A Very Laneway Christmas Event in Bakery Lane in Fortitude Valley from November 30 to December 7.

The Brisbane-based brand is all about sustainable luxury basics in classic styles so whether you’re looking to get something for that special girl in your life or that special girl is yourself, you’ll definitely find something you love.

A Very Laneway Christmas Event kicks off on November 15 and runs right up until December 23 (for those last-minute gifts) and will showcase creations by five very unique emerging designers as well as special Christmas sales at selected Bakery Lane and Winn Lane retailers. So whether you just hate crowds or love supporting local makers and do-ers, discover the cool and relaxed vibe of these hidden markets. The event is pet friendly and there is free live music every Saturday from 12:00–2:00 pm as well as food from a bunch of the nearby venues.
