HEMP

A FABRIC WITH A THOUSAND QUALITIES.

Hemp sativa, a plant with countless properties, has a long history of use since ancient times. During the 20th century, Italy held a dominant position in its production, thanks to its exceptional characteristics.

This wild and resistant plant does not require special nutritional care and can easily adapt to different types of soil, growing rapidly to reach heights of 5 to 6 meters, making its cultivation more economical than other crops. Its multiple applications range from construction to design and the production of textile fibers.

Unlike cotton, hemp requires less water to grow and is completely usable in all its parts. Its flowers contain active ingredients also used in the medical field, while its oily seeds, highly nutritious, find use both in the food sector and in the industrial sector, replacing some components derived from fossil fuels.

The fiber extracted from hemp is widely used in the fashion world, as it is considered a precious and resistant material, capable of withstanding high temperatures, attacks from molds and insects, and even direct exposure to sunlight. Hemp fabrics offer a comfortable and breathable experience during summer, while in winter they retain warmth and wrap in a soft embrace. Moreover, they boast remarkable hypoallergenic properties, making them suitable for everyone and for all seasons of the year.

Hemp fabrics are cool and breathable in summer, and warm and enveloping in winter, and possess great hypoallergenic qualities. They can therefore be used practically by anyone and in every season of the year.
