Hemp

• Hemp is an alternative natural fiber that's cultivated with low impact on the environment. It requires no irrigation or synthetic fertilizers and is harvested and processed by hand. It's one of the most durable natural fibers on the planet and results in a fabric with a wonderful drape, comparable to linen
• Unfortunately, industrial hemp is illegal to grow in most parts of the world because government agencies continue to associate it with marijuana. Currently import high-quality hemp from China and continue to hope that it might someday grow freely again
• Hemp alone or blended with other fibers like recycled polyester, organic cotton and spandex

Organic Cotton

• The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it
