Belt in hemp and organic cotton HempAge

The label „The Hemp Line“ emphasises basics for women and men that have both ecological and fashionable requirements to be met. With bi-annually varying collections, only pure hemp and hemp-cotton fabrics produced out of controlled organic growing are used.

Hemp is cultivated by nature organically and in a very environmentally friendly manner. The plants are resilient when It comes to insects and are also resistant against illnesses, so that no pesticides are necessary. Additionally, hemp grows so quickly, that herbicides against weeds are unnecessary. This gives assurance, that hemp clothes not only look good but are also naturally pure in every respect. Eudermic: Recently research confirms the recommendation from old, traditional medicine, that people with sensitive skin should wear clothes out of hemp fibres. Hemp fibres show the same microelectric charge as human skin does. Therefore this is exactly the opposite of those textiles that make one’s hair stand on end and irritate the skin. Due to minute, air enclosures, hemp fibres resemble silk in it’s ability to equalise temperatures relatively, making it cool for summer-wear and warm in winter.

Our hemp materials and textiles are manufactured in China. In the meantime, China’s natural textile industry is geared at being very ecologically friendly. They anticipate exactly what customers in Europe and the USA wish to have. Apart from that, only China has an adequate supply of raw material (fibres) for the textile industry. No other country in the world has reacted too swiftly to the global interest in hemp fibres and textiles, like China has.
