Hemp has always been our favourite raw material for a variety of reasons: it can be grown on virtually any soil, requires little water and little energy and it is also biologically degradable.
Moreover, hemp plants are extremely resistant to pests and fungal attack, so you don’t need to use chemical herbicides or fungicides to grow them. Last but not least, you can use every last part of a hemp plant – from seeds to leaves – as a raw material.
If we want a garment to be particularly skin-friendly, breathable and antimicrobial, hemp fibres are always our first choice. We generally like to use them in combination with organic cotton.
