Qualities of Hemp in Fashion

Most people don't realise, that Hemp can be one of the most sustainable & regenerative fibres you can use. 

Due to its long roots and ability to sequester carbon, this fibre can carry CO2 out of our atmosphere and regenerate surrounding crops innately.

Another amazing quality of this fibre, is it's ability to re grow in the same area time and time again, unlike cotton which requires larger amounts of land. 

Hemp is antibacterial and pesticide resistant naturally, therefore it doesn't require toxic pesticides when being grown. Alongside this, hemp is often able to be grown without man made irrigation - just relying on rain fall. 

To top it off - hemp is one of the strongest & most durable fibres you can use, making clothing crafted out of this fibre, pieces which will last for years to come.

The methods in which hemp is grown, turned into a fibre & produced into a garment all play a part in its overall impact - and can create harm on our environment and people when not done with sustainability in mind.

Where possible, choose hemp textiles which have been grown, treated and manufactured without harmful chemicals & with a commitment to sustainable / ethical practises.
