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 in organic farms that take care of the soil, ecosystem and people by relying on biodiversity and local natural cycles.
Our hemp fibres come from China. Hemp has similar properties to linen, it is very strong and softens through washing. It is natural, breathable, absorbs moisture and dye easily, has anti-bacterial properties, is an effective insulator keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Hemp is a fast and efficiently growing fibre that requires almost no fertilisers and pesticides and very little water. Often called 'super fibre', hemp is great for the environment and is extremely durable.

Fabric
Lightweight hemp and cotton woven fabric is versatile and works wonderfully across different styles and patterns. Hemp gives the fabric texture and dry feel and cotton adds to its softness. After being spun, the yarn is yarn-dyed to achieve beautiful solid colours. The cloth is woven in a stripe or check pattern and then cut and sewn into a lovely garment. Finally, the garment is washed using environmentally friendly enzyme wash to create a faded appearance and make the fabric even softer.

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.
