Ponte Pants - Hemp
Hemp
Origin: Belgium, France
- Hemp is a bast fiber.
- Most hemp cultivation is done with rainfall and no irrigation.
- Hemp is grown in rotation, nourishing the soil for other crops. It replenishes the soil with nitrogen and other nutrients, while removing chemicals at the same time.
- Industrial hemp plants absorb more carbon dioxide than trees.
- For hemp production, herbicides and pesticides aren’t necessary.
- When you add processing into the equation, cotton uses around four times as much water. as hemp. Hemp can produce over double the fiber yield per hectare as cotton.
- Nothing is wasted in producing hemp: seeds are used to make oil and food supplements, while the stalks are used for fiber.
- The fiber is naturally UV resistant and absorbent and is also known for its anti-bacterial, anti-mold and insulative qualities.
We recommend a cold wash on a gentle cycle using natural detergent and hang drying for all our products. Hand washing is also always a good option.
To reduce washes, we recommend airing or freezing your garments and spot cleaning whenever you have a stain. Airing helps in getting rid of the odour and you can do this by leaving your clothing outside overnight. Freezing gets rid of smell, mildew, and moths and is effective when done for 6-12 hours.
Knits should be stored folded, as hanging knitwear can change the shape. Put cedar wood or lavender in your drawers and make sure your knitwear is clean when you store it to avoid moths.
