The Bee Cozy

You’ve heard of the tea cozy, well this is the Bee Cozy, named after my mom. Oh how soft and warm…this garment made of hemp and organic cotton fleece is a wardrobe essential! This fleece wrap is accented with a padded hemp/silk collar that surrenders into drape and flow elegance. Meditating on the beach, for yoga on those cool mornings, the Bee Cozy Hemp Wrap will always serve as that nurturing companion.

The Bee Cozy was a big seller at the L.A. Go Green Expo in January.

But, Hemp Purses have come a long way in the past few years because of the evolution in the refining techniques of hemp fabrics.  Now you can find elegant, sturdy, colorful, even luxurious Hemp Handbags as desirable as any purse or handbag made from man made textiles.

For most women, their purse is their signature piece. It is the one item that they own that they have with them every single day. A purse reflects a woman’s personality, what her lifestyle is like, and the way she sees herself. Hemp purses also make a statement and that statement is that you care about the environment, you don’t want it polluted with chemicals, and that you also don’t want an animal dying for your purse.

Actually, Hemp Fashion as a whole is based on the belief that we don’t need to clothe ourselves in toxic man-made unsustainable fibers that pollute our oceans and our land. We can use fibers from a plant that are easy to grow without chemicals, uses little water, hence not using up our natural resources and further damaging the earth. Hemp, also referred to as ‘industrial or agricultural’ hemp, is in many ways the ideal fiber crop.  Today, more companies are choosing to make Organic Hemp Clothing part of their clothing line.

High fashion purses made from Hemp Fabrics are only one of the many items that you can find in stores all over the country. Whether you are shopping in a big-city department store or just shopping online, you will find a variety of purses made from this perfect fiber.

We all love “the look, the feel of cotton”, but did you know that most of the world’s pesticides and insecticides are used in the growing of cotton fields? Though cotton looks and feels good, it’s vast production is unfortunately damaging our earth.

Hemp Clothes, on the other hand, do good things for our earth. First of all, hemp is grown naturally and produces the highest yield per acre than any other fiber crop.  It grows well without chemicals, helps replenish the soil so the land it grows on will be safer and healthier for everyone.

Wearing Hemp Fashion carries a purpose that goes so beyond the ‘green’ trend.  Hemp clothes are versatile, appropriate for any activity being so comfortable, look great, wear well then  perfectly biodegradable in the end of  many years of service. People have been wearing hemp patterns for yoga and other demanding physical activities for years because the fibers are porous allowing you to perspire, and it’s antimicrobial nature reduces odor problems.

Hemp washes up well and hemp clothes mostly get stronger yet softer when laundered.  Because of it’s porous fiber hemp absorbs dyes so well and is extremely colorfast.

In many ways, Hemp Fabrics create a perfect balance for our clothing needs.

Hemp clothing is environmentally-friendly, colorful, comfortable, affordable and looks great no matter how many times you wash them.  It’s inspiring how many hemp clothing and accessory items we can find in our local boutiques or major department stores now. From pants, t-shirts, eveningwear, formalwear such as wedding dresses and suits, underwear, fine dining linens, equestrian wear and even shoes, hemp is a great fabric to use.

People think of cotton as the original natural fiber, the one that you should choose if you are being environmentally-friendly and want to stay cool and comfortable. In reality, though, nothing could be further from the truth. Cotton is not an easy crop to grow. It requires a lot of water that could be going to better use. It also requires a lot of chemicals to scare away all the bugs. The damage that growing cotton does to our earth is untold.

Hemp Designs are made from natural, organic hemp fiber that is everything that cotton is not. It doesn’t require a lot of water or chemicals to grow, it grows in abundance, and it is as comfortable and cool as cotton. In most cases, you can’t even tell the difference – but the earth can!

Whether you are looking for a cool, casual or sexy top to work out in, want a great looking handbag, or a pair of organic shoes, you can find hemp designs for most all pieces of clothing, both formal and casual. The good news is also that you no longer have to go to organic stores to buy clothes made from hemp. Some of the largest stores around carry organic hemp clothing by many brand name manufacturers who also understand the value of using the best fiber for our environment.

This misperception has created federal legal delays in supplying hemp resources, caused a great loss to us and the planet through many years of not being able to fully benefit from this life enhancing, eco empowering, economic boosting plant resource.

Fortunately as people become educated regarding industrial hemp, simply HEMP, more and more people are turning to Organic Hemp Clothing these days…and for all the right reasons.  Currently though, we still have to import all of our hemp fabrics from overseas because of the still existing legal entanglements/confusions within our federal government regarding this wonder plant…hemp.

Growing and producing resources made from hemp has a  ‘carbon footprint’ (environmental impact) that is negligible compared to any other natural resource, in fact in growing this plant we understand how it could potentially create that bridge for survival and prosperity on this planet.  More yield per acre, several crops per year, hemp proliferates better and faster than other fiber crop given it’s healthy immune system, which also accounts for it pest resistant, drought tolerant nature.  Cotton, on the other hand has a carbon footprint that is harmful to the environment, especially if it is not grown organically. For all these reasons, Womens Hemp Clothing should be your number one choice for all your clothing needs.

Women’s hemp clothing has always been the style in certain segments of the population. Those who like to wear comfortable clothing, natural fibers, and loose fitting garments have been choosing hemp for years. Luckily, more clothing manufacturers are choosing hemp to create a wide range of Hemp Designs – from shoes to purses, pants to shirts.

Women’s Hemp Clothing is comfortable as well. And, the more you wash it, the better it gets. Unlike other fibers that break down under severe conditions, hemp is a strong fiber and only becomes softer after each wash. So, instead of watching your favorite cotton shirt start to deteriorate, your favorite hemp shirt will just keep getting better and better.

Because hemp fiber wicks away sweat to let it evaporate, is anti-microbial, you feel cleaner and healthier during your yoga practice or workout.  So, when wearing hemp clothing, you can be always looking your best while feeling comfortable and knowing how environmentally benign your clothing investment is with hemp.

Another way you can make a huge difference on this planet is by opting for Organic Hemp Clothing instead of commercial cotton, synthetics (polyester) clothing that many are so use to.  Wearing hemp clothing will always leave you feeling good about yourself, inside and out, because you are making that important difference.

It’s a full circle experience to make these choices about Organic Hemp Clothing to live sustainably… not only is  psychologically wholesome,  but environmentally sound.
