hemp clothing

The clothing in this section of Equilibrio are either made from 100% hemp fabric or are made from a blend of hemp and another fibre like organic cotton.

Hemp fabric is a type of textile that is made using fibres from the stalks of the Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp is an eco-friendly crop. It requires virtually no pesticides and needs little water, yet it renews the soil with each growth cycle. The plant has long roots which prevent erosion and helps retain topsoil. Hemp also grows readily in most temperate regions.

Clothing made of hemp fibre is lightweight and absorbent and has three times the strength of cotton. The fibre has been around for over 10000 years. It is biodegradable, UV and mould-resistant.

The hemp clothing on Equilibrio has been made in South Africa in small, sustainable factories and is generally a blend between hemp and organic cotton. Hemp also blends well with other fibres like silk.

Should your hemp garment stretch or go out of shape, because it’s natural simply stretch it back to shape by drying flat from wet.

Hemp is also virtually lint-free, non-static, non-allergenic, gives UV protection and is a natural insect repellent. As with most things, it gets better with age too – softer and suppler the more you wash it.
