Fibre
Our organic cotton is grown in India, Turkey and Kyrgyzstan. The cotton is certified by Organic Cotton Standard which ensures that it has been grown solely on organic farms that take care of the soil, ecosystem and people by relying on biodiversity and local natural cycles.
Our hemp fibres come from France and China. Similar in character to linen, hemp is exceptionally strong and naturally softens with washing, developing a beautifully relaxed handle over time. It is naturally breathable, moisture-absorbent and its insulating qualities help to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. Often referred to as a ‘super fibre’, hemp is a fast-growing and efficient crop that requires minimal water, fertilisers and pesticides to grow.
Fabric
Corduroy is made by weaving extra sets of fibres into the base fabric to form vertical piles, creating a soft and versatile fabric with its distinctive ridged texture. Corduroy has a long history: first created in ancient Egypt, later adapted by the British monarchy and rediscovered by 1970s bohemians, it remains one of the most loved natural autumn/winter fabrics. In this unique version, a checked pattern is woven directly into the base fabric, creating an interesting all-over check effect with added character.
Factory
The yarn, fabric and garments are all made by our supplier based in Rushan, to the north of Shanghai. The garment factory is powered by solar panels and focuses on producing environmentally-friendly clothing using hemp. We are proud to have worked with this supplier and their team for more than ten years.
