10,000 years and more.....
Our high quality, pure hemp is all grown, woven, dyed and tailored in Yunnan. It has many highly desirable qualities - the structure of the fibre makes it very breathable as well as insulating, hence comfortable to wear in both cool and warm weather. Hemp is anti-mildew and acts as a partial block to UV rays; it is prized for its strength and durability as well as for its luxurious softness.
Hemp is a natural plant fibre, derived from the stem of the cannabis plant. It is one of the earliest sources of fabric with a history of use going back 10.000 years. As well as a textile, it has many other uses including as paper, food, medicine, soap, building materials and more.
The name canvas derives from cannabis, the Renaissance artists painted on it, the U.S. wrote its Declaration of Independence on it and Levi jeans were originally made with hemp. Links to more about this fabulous plant to follow!
