WHAT:
Hemp is a highly versatile and environmentally conscious material, that is both durable and breathable. Hemp strands are made from the long strands of fibre that make up the stalk of the plant. We currently use a blend of hemp, cotton, polyester, and viscose in our shoe bags.
WHY:
Hemp requires minimal irrigation, uses less fertiliser than other crops and its deep taproot replenishes vital nutrients in the soil.
However, to create a soft fabric that won’t scratch the leather of our shoes, we utilise a hemp blend which includes polyester, a synthetic fabric that's derived from petroleum and is harmful to the environment.
WHERE WE ARE HEADING:
We are phasing out the use of our hemp bags. Our goal is to package all shoes with cleaning cloths made entirely from natural fibre - free from synthetic materials.
USED IN:
Shoe Bags and The Fit Kit.
