Why we use Hemp

Considered an environmental super fibre, Hemp is one of the most durable and economically viable all-natural threads.

Our hemp is OEKO-TEX 100 certified - ensuring that no chemicals harmful to humans have been used at any stage of the production.

Here are just a few of the reasons we back hemp as the way of the future -

  • Hemp is a natural fibre which requires very limited, and often no application of pesticides and fertilisers in cultivation.
  • Its production uses approximately 50% less water than cotton.
  • Hemp is regenerative, requires less land than cotton to grow and yields 4-5 times more material per acre than Flax (linen).
  • Hemp returns nutrients to the soil, whereas Flax depletes it.
  • Hemp has some of the longest natural fibres in the world making it stronger and more durable than alternatives, and it is naturally resistant to mould and mildew.
  • Hemp absorbs four times as much CO2 as trees do, effectively helping to fight global warming by cleaning the atmosphere.
  • Hemp has many positive health & wellness benefits - antibacterial, hypoallergenic, breathable & moisture wicking - so cool in summer and a natural insulator in winter. The perfect fibre for all season bedding.

Corozo Nut Buttons 

The corozo nut is a sustainable plastic-free alternative to buttons. It comes from the tagua tree and is also known as Vegetal Ivory, as it has a unique grain pattern, delivers scratch-free buttons and is extremely durable. 

  • It's naturally harvested - Corozo can only be collected after it has fallen from the tree. Otherwise it isn't strong enough for button production.
  • It's a renewable resource - no trees need to be cut down. And once mature, a Tagua tree can produce up to 25 kilograms of nuts, for over a hundred years.
  • It's durable - the tightly wound organic fibres make for outstanding scratch resistance and high durability.
  • It's natural - corozo is a completely biodegradable product and a great alternative to plastic.
