Summer is here (in Europe), and it's time to refresh your wardrobe with pieces that not only keep you cool but also reflect your commitment to sustainability. 🌞🌿
If you’re looking to step up your summer style game while making a positive impact on the planet, look no further than hemp-based fashion. Known for its breathability, durability, and eco-friendly credentials, hemp is the ultimate fabric for conscious consumers who want to stay stylish in the heat.
I've carefully selected XX responsible brands where you can find the best hemp items—let's dive in!
WAMA Underwear is an American brand that specializes in organic hemp underwear for both men and women. They offer a variety of styles, including boxer briefs, trunks, bikinis, hipsters, and more.
WAMA Underwear sources its hemp from small, family-owned farms in China. These farms use sustainable farming practices, ensuring that the hemp is grown without the use of harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This approach not only supports the environment but also promotes the well-being of the farmers and their communities.
Their products are known for being eco-friendly and comfortable. WAMA uses hemp as the primary material for their products and they combine it with organic cotton and a bit of spandex to create a comfortable and durable fabric. The garments design is undoubtedly very basic with prices typically falling between €20 to €40 per item, overall I think this is a good option for everyday comfort under the heat!
Afends is a clothing and fashion brand from Byron Bay, Australia, known for its focus on organic hemp fashion and streetwear for both men and women.They offer a wide collection of T-Shirts,shirts, deress, pants, shorts, jackets and accessories (including hats and bags) with prices ranging from €40 up to €150.I appreciate that they also innovate by using waste and remnant fabrics to create new items, like scrunchies.
Their collection is very wide and I am focusing on their selection of women’s jumpsuits as this is my favorite staple for summer, check it out!
No outfit is truly complete without the perfect pair of shoes, so let's find the perfect hemp shoes brand to buy from!
8000Kicks is a Portuguese brand that specializes in creating eco-friendly, durable, and stylish shoes made from hemp. Their products are designed to be sustainable, vegan, and almost completely compostable.
8000kicks has at the core of their mission to make hemp great again and create a great product out of it. That's why the founder at the start has visited the world's best manufacturers to find the absolute best ones. Currently 8000Kicks has established 2 factories where their shoes are produced located in China and Portugal. I like the transparency provided about the average salary of the workers and the % of renewable energy source utilized in their production process.
They offer a variety of footwear options, including waterproof and breathable shoes suitable for different occasions.
Their women's collection is made of 24 products, my favorite is the Seeker model which is a versatile option and as they are lightweight and breathable they could be perfect for a constantly changing weather and everyday wear.
You can get yourself a pair of their shoes for a price ranging from €90 to €160! They offer international shipping.
The ice on the cake for your 100% hemp outfit would be to refine it with a hemp accessory of your choice!
You can get inspiration from the small accessories collection offered by Firkail, a sustainable and ethical clothing brand based in Kinsale, Ireland, founded by two sisters with a strong commitment to caring for our planet and supporting local businesses.
They specialize in stylish and comfortable clothing made from organic hemp cotton, with products designed to be long-lasting, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic. Their accessories, including hemp scrunchies, beanies, and caps, are among my favorites. I encourage you to explore their entire collection, as Firkail offers a compelling alternative to fast fashion.
I hope this post has inspired you to explore and support conscious fashion brands making products with hemp.
By choosing sustainable options like these handpicked brands you not only add unique and stylish pieces to your wardrobe but also contribute to meaningful social and environmental change.
