PREMIUM QUALITY

Soft and smooth fleece interior with a sturdy, texturized exterior make a warm and bulky fabric. Hemp and organic cotton blended material is thermo-regulating. So, these winter items make you warmer in cold weather, as the fabric stores heat on the inside. This material is tremendously soft, breathable, and comfortable. It feels great on the skin as no harmful chemicals are used in the production, unlike almost all other clothes. 

Hemp kills the bacteria in your sweat, so you smell fresh and feel free. It hardly creases, gets softer with each wash, and has strong UV protective qualities too. It is 4x stronger than regular fabric and holds its shape better.

This fabric is “worn-in” not worn-out, these garments will last centuries. The small-batch (some family-run) factories mean the handling of the garments is of the highest care from start to finish.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Growing the hemp plant is carbon negative – absorbing more carbon than what is emitted during the processing of it and the transport to get it here. Hemp and organic cotton are biodegradable too.

Our packaging (boxes, swing tags, print on the swing tags, and hemp string) is all environmentally friendly aNd biodegradable. We will be adding an environmentally friendly courier service in no time! The hemp and organic cotton we use is grown on a large scale in China. But even though it’s grown there, the planet benefits the same as if it were South Africa. Farming these plants makes our business carbon neutral, as the hemp plant restores the planet’s ecosystem so much that it covers everything from manufacturing to transport – even if it’s all the way from China!

Because hemp is a carbon negative, any enviro-damaging parts of the business (like our size tags) are covered by the hemp we use which is restoring the environment.
