Hemp is an extremely versatile plant fiber derived from
the Cannabis plant. Since ancient times, hemp has
been used to create cloth, rope, canvas, oil, and paper
(among other things). Hemp can be grown naturally,
without the use of pesticides, and it uses far less
water than a similar yield of cotton would use.
These properties make hemp the perfect fiber for
environmentally friendly clothing & accessories. A great
resource for learning about the long
and storied history of hemp can be found at:
