Fabrics
Our natural and sustainable hemp fabrics are hugely popular in the UK, and around the world! As the UK’s oldest and largest supplier of sustainable Hemp fabrics, since 1998 we’ve been supplying all kinds of businesses with the fabric that they need to make their ethical fashion and design projects come to life. Whether it’s a limited edition clothing collection, an interior design project, furniture upholstery, homeware, tableware for restaurants, or natural bedding for hotel chains we have the fabric to get the job done!
Hemp fabrics have been used for thousands of years, the word “Canvas” stems from the Greek word for “Cannabis”. Archaeologists have discovered hemp cloth dating back to 8000BC from Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq and Iran) - its our oldest plant fibre cloth!. Hempiness is proud to play our part in bringing hemp fabrics back to the forefront and putting this fantastic resource back into the spotlight for all to benefit from. Modern-day processing techniques mean that hemp fabrics are now more refined than ever before - with everything from delicate hemp and silk blends to sturdy heavy-duty canvas and everything in-between, if you think of a fabric there’s a hemp equivalent for every conceivable use! With all of this choice, you can make anything from luxury loungewear to smart everyday trousers, from cosy hoodies to practical everyday underwear.
Our fabrics are trusted by thousands for their projects big and small. We source fabrics from across the globe, ensuring that our ethical and environmental standards are met by the farms, mills and production facilities involved along the way. We demand that workers have fair wages and good working conditions, that farmers get a good price for the raw materials, and that the whole process is as environmentally friendly as can be. For example, one of the largest fabric mills that we work with now runs entirely on sustainable energy, with their entire production facility covered in solar panels!
