100% hemp
Our latest collection has been produced using indigenous hemp fibre from the Himalayas in India. Hemp is one of the most sustainable fibres in the world. It is organically cultivated, carbon neutral, water saving and UV resistant. Not only is this one of the most environmentally friendly fibres, the production of hemp is also a key contributor to the economy of local communities, providing employment to the village women.
