A Fiber That’s Stood the Test of Time

Hemp has been woven into human life for over 10,000 years — from ancient garments to the ropes that carried Viking ships across open seas. Long before fast fashion, it was trusted for its strength, versatility, and natural balance. Today, hemp isn’t making a comeback as a trend. It’s being rediscovered as what it has always been: a timeless material, ready for modern life.

One of Humanity’s Earliest Materials


Hemp is one of the oldest cultivated materials known to humanity. Archaeological evidence shows that hemp was used in China over 10,000 years ago, primarily for ropes and simple textiles. This makes hemp older as a cultivated fiber than both cotton and wool. Early civilizations quickly recognized its strength and durability. Hemp helped lay the foundation for early human development.

The earliest paper in history was made from hemp in China around 100–200 AD, valued for its strength and durability and later used across Europe and the Middle East for books and official documents.

The Paper That Changed the World


The earliest known paper was made from hemp in China around 100–200 AD. Unlike modern wood-based paper, hemp paper was stronger and far more durable. The technique later spread to the Middle East and Europe, where hemp became a standard material for books, maps, and official documents. Many historical texts have survived precisely because of hemp’s longevity. Without hemp, much of written history would have been lost.

During the Age of Sail, hemp was essential for ropes, sails, and rigging thanks to its resistance to saltwater, enabling long-distance seafaring and global exploration.

Hemp Built Global Seafaring


During the age of sailing ships, hemp was absolutely essential. Ropes, sails, nets, and rigging were made almost exclusively from hemp due to its resistance to saltwater and heavy strain. Ships crossing the Atlantic — including voyages led by Christopher Columbus — depended on hemp to function at all. Without it, global trade and exploration would have looked very different. Hemp was quite literally the fiber that held the world together.

More Than Clothes — A Mindful Wardrobe

Every piece is made to last. We are building a future where garments are returned, renewed, and reborn — a circular model for thoughtful consumption.

Yes. Peer-reviewed studies show that hemp uses significantly less water (up to 70% less), grows faster, and produces more fibre per acre than cotton. It also requires no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers to thrive.

Not the way we make it. Our blend softens with each wear and wash. It starts structured and breathable — like raw linen — and gets better over time. That’s part of what makes hemp so long-lasting.

Hemp contains natural compounds like phenolics and cannabinoids that inhibit bacterial growth. Studies show it resists common bacteria like E. coli — helping reduce odour and the need for chemical treatments.

Yes. Hemp is a 100% plant-based material and breaks down naturally without releasing microplastics or toxic residues. Unlike synthetic fibres, it returns to the earth clean

Good question. Hemp was sidelined for decades due to regulation and lack of industry infrastructure. But it’s coming back — and fast. We're here to help lead that shift by making hemp accessible, wearable, and long-lasting.

Hemp grows fast and naturally suppresses weeds, which means farmers don’t need to rely on chemical herbicides. Its deep roots reduce soil erosion and help restore nutrient balance, making the land healthier for future crops — even if it’s not hemp.
