Why are you so obsessed with hemp?
Great question! We chose hemp because it's one of the most sustainable and durable natural fibres available. It requires less water, fewer pesticides, and regenerates soil health, making it eco-friendly and incredibly sustainable. Plus, it produces high-quality, long-lasting, and comfortable clothing.
-
Sustainable: Hemp is an incredibly sustainable and eco-friendly crop. With its deep root system it requires 50-75% less water compared to cotton and grows in almost any climate and soil type and grows to maturity in as little as 3-4 months.
-
Eco-Friendly: Hemp is a leader when it comes to biodegradability. It naturally breaks down, leaving no harmful residues. On top of that, hemp plants absorb four times more CO2 than trees, making it an invaluable tool against climate change.
-
Durable: Hemp fibres are known for their durability, lasting years without losing their strength. In fact, they're eight times stronger than cotton fibres and super resistant to abrasion. Hemp also becomes softer with every wash.
-
Breathable: Hemp's breathability is another standout benefit. Its natural moisture-wicking and ventilation properties keep you cool in the heat. It won't trap sweat, making it perfect for all weather conditions. It also has excellent insulation properties to keep you warm.
-
Hypoallergenic & Antimicrobial: Hemp's hypoallergenic nature makes it perfect for those with sensitive skin or allergies. It's also naturally antimicrobial, resisting bacteria and fungi and reducing odors. Plus, it provides UV protection for your skin.
-
Soil Regenerator: Hemp absorbs and removes heavy metals and toxins from soil through a process called phytoremediation. This helps detoxify and cleanse the soil by extracting pollutants and contaminants, leaving the soil healthier than before.
-
Water-Conscious: Hemp uses a fraction of the water that cotton does in both cultivation and processing, conserving this precious resource. Plus, fewer pesticides and fertilisers mean less risk of water pollution.
-
Chemical-Free: Unlike many other crops, hemp doesn't require pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals to thrive. Its natural resistance to pests and diseases reduces the need for chemical interventions, protecting both the environment and your health.
-
Conscious Consumerism: Embracing hemp products is another step towards conscious consumerism. It sends a clear message that you value eco-friendly, sustainable options, pushing industries to follow suit.
