FAQs
Why is hemp more expensive?
100% Hemp products can be a bit pricier, but here's why:
- A Rare Gem: Hemp can be a bit elusive due to legal restrictions and limited cultivation, making it a prized rarity.
- The VIP of Fabrics: Hemp boasts premium quality with superpowers like durability, UV ray resistance, and antibacterial abilities. It's the superhero of fabrics.
- Soft as a Cloud: With each wash, your product is sure to get better over time.
- Tough as Nails: The Terminator of textiles! Hemp fibers are incredibly strong and durable. It is sure to outlast many others in your wardrobe, so you won't have to replace your favorite hemp shirt anytime soon.
So, while hemp products might have you reaching a bit deeper into your wallet initially, they'll reward you with quality, comfort, and eco-credibility.

We recommend steam ironing our products. Our fabric does have a tendency to wrinkle and crease more than cotton but less than linen.

All our garments are prewashed and do not shrink after wash. However, we recommend air drying our products as compared to a machine dryer.
