What we can prove

Why hemp?

Water: Mekonnen & Hoekstra 2011, fibre stage. Moisture: agreed allowances, Regulation (EU) 1007/2011 Annex IX. Carbon: held in the fibre while the cloth lasts, not removed from the air.

Pitch us your product

There's no such thing as a bad question.

Cloth woven or knitted from the bast fibre of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa L. It is a fibre crop, not a drug crop. The stalk is retted, broken, spun and woven, the same steps as linen. We use it pure or blended with cotton or lyocell.

On water, clearly: about 2,700 litres per kilo of fibre against 9,100 for cotton, at the fibre stage. On pesticides: none needed. On moisture, hemp's standard allowance is 12.0% against cotton's 8.5% in EU textile law. On strength and softness we do not print numbers we cannot source.

Because hemp textile becomes affordable at volume. Every product shows a goal, for example 100 tees. When it is reached, production starts. If it is not reached, every cent comes back. No dead stock, no discount games.

Yes, from 50 pieces. Embroidery or print, your colours, our hemp. Trade prices are visible after logging in, and the volume ladder runs to 1000 pieces.

Zaandam, the Netherlands. Flags are in stock and ship from here. The Hemp Collection is woven with partners in Europe, and the duvet sets are in stock in the Netherlands.
