Why Hemp Fabric?
Hemp is one of the strongest and longest natural fibers, four to five times stronger than cotton. Woven into textiles, it produces an incredibly durable fabric that resists breaking down, tearing or developing odor, while actually softening with wear rather than wearing out. Our hemp is ethically sourced from Nepal’s hilly regions, where the plant grows naturally and the fabric’s production is environmentally sustainable, requiring less land and absorbing more carbon than it produces.
Handmade by Women Artisans
After harvesting, women in rural Nepali villages shred the hemp leaves and soak the stems in water for up to 20 days until they soften. The bark is then separated from the plant, smoked over a fire and boiled in ash water. Through a traditional process called “retting,” hemp fibers are separated from the bark, then spun into continuous thread and woven into fabric. Every step, from fiber processing to spinning and weaving, is performed mainly by women, and every purchase directly supports their livelihoods.
Handmade Character
Because each tote is handmade, please allow for slight natural variation in size and color from bag to bag. This variation reflects the handcrafted nature of the fabric rather than a flaw, and it means every tote carries a bit of individual character.
