Here’s a list of brands that sell hemp clothing
Hemp is commonly associated with marijuana. But did you know it was also a more sustainable alternative to many harmful fabrics/textiles in fashion? Hemp is a plant that grows well in many different areas and is quite resistant to diseases, eliminating harmful chemicals. It is also completely biodegradable. Furthermore, Hemp also uses less water. Hemp’s fibres can then be turned into textiles for fashion. Do you want to learn more about hemp? Then be sure to read our previous blogs: “The advantages and disadvantages of hemp as a textile fibre” and “How to make clothing from hemp”
COSH! searched for clothes made of hemp which are available in our shops. We are excited to show you the top hemp products!
