Viridis Luxe Hemp :: Sexy and Sustainable
I’ve been admiring luxurious hemp fabrics and found this Virdis Luxe interview to share here :: Focused mainly on sheer silk hemp, “Viridis Luxe creative team of Hala Bahmet and Amadea West designed a collection of fashionable sweaters, skirts, wraps and tunics… Their hands-on approach to beautiful, sustainable creation involves long fiber hemp harvested by hand, along with the use of all-natural dyes and routine supervision to ensure healthy factory working conditions.’
Hemp is an ancient fiber and it flourished in the italian renaissance. In fact, the ancient relics of human industry are scraps of hemp found in tombs dating back to 8,000 BC…Lotus Organics has a great hemp fabric overview on their blog that tells us about the fibers strength, durability, elasticity and smoothness. “Hemp fiber is one of the strongest and most durable natural textile fibers, not only is it strong, but it also holds its shape having one of the lowest percent elongation of any natural fiber. In fact, its combination of ruggedness and comfort were utilized by Levi Strauss as a lightweight duck canvas for the very first pair of jeans made in California.”
These gals have the right idea, take your favorite product, and make it sustainable.Hemp’s possibilities are endless/ requiring no chemicals. It’s nutrition is paramount: check out phil’s Power Pancakes, Choc- Hempseed flavor. Young people can re-create the world by inventing their own products w/o harsh industry.
Awesome. Thanks for the response and info. I agree about its nutritional value… I like hemp protein powder in my morning smoothy! The Power Pancakes look good in that flavor
