HEMPEA information

HEMP

I love the silence of forests, fresh breath of wind and bright starry sky. That is why I have chosen 100% European hemp to be the material for my products.

Hemp is a naturally eco-friendly material: no pesticides, fertilizers or irrigation is needed for its growth. Growing hemp improves soil quality and is an ideal crop rotation plant.

I only use hemp that is harvested and processed by traditional methods without chemicals. For dyeing of the fabrics only fiber-reactive, non-harmless dyes are used.

Hemp fabric keeps you warm in cold winter nights but feels cool during hot summer days. Hemp as material is durable and biodegradable.

RESPONSIBILITY

Besides nature I love and respect people. Through responsible production I wish to create products that will make you feel good too.

The eco-friendly hemp fabric is made by a small producer in Romania, where hemp production has centuries long tradition and history. The production is ethical and the hemp is organically grown, even though it’s not certified. All workers and farmers have safe working environment, appropriate health insurance and pension coverage.

HEMPEA products are sewn in Northern Finland, in Rovaniemi and Ivalo, in small, independent, lovely dressmakers’ studios. Items with patterns are printed in Finland.

The products are timeless and long-lasting. I hope they will bring you joy for years to come. I try to do everything zero-waste design with as little left-over fabric as possible. Nothing is thrown away, and all the off-cut material is used (for HEMPEA`s products or in collaboration with other companies or organizations).

I also make made-to-order items according to your wishes.
