Organic ? – what could be more eco-friendly than hemp. Such a prolific crop, hemp is a natural herbicide, by out-growing any competing fledgling weeds, it literally puts them into its shade, where they wither and die. Hemp can achieve heights of 12 feet in its short growing season of only 5 months.  Naturally resistant to fungus and insects, this is one crop the chemical industry hates. Hemp’s deep tap-roots break up and aerate the soil, thereby promoting microbial soil life and negating the need for fertilisers. Those deep tap-roots go searching for moisture making hemp a crop that does not need irrigating.
Natural, renewable, biodegradable, environmentally friendly Hemp has been used as a textile for 6,000 years. At British Made Eco, we like to weave the strength and durability of hemp with the characteristics of other yarns to produce environmentally friendly fabrics that are perfect for feminine fashion.

Lovers of natural clothing can’t help but admire the elegant look of tweed – but we thought our chic customers would appreciate a modern twist.

Not satisfied with the Wool/Hemp blend, we thought that our customers might want a lighter tweed with a better drape – by adding Tencel (Lyocell), we give you just that.
