MARLE JERSEY HEMP BLEND | Dark Grey Marle
MARLE JERSEY HEMP BLEND | Dark Grey Marle
I am a midweight jersey blend with a dramatic marled effect. I'm soft to the touch but have a weighty hand and I'm fully opaque. I’m casual enough for the beach but dress me up with jeans, a blazer and heels and I’m ready for cocktails in the city. As with most of my knit friends my stretch is 100% ‘au naturale’ so please don’t over-stretch me.
I’d make an excellent classic short or long sleeve tee and my slightly heavier weight makes me suitable for bottom weight options such as knit dresses or light summer shorts. I’m pretty cool.

Why I'm Better
Why I'm Better
Industrial Hemp is derived from the bast fibres of the cannabis sativa plant and, although visually and taxonomically similar to it's infamous cousin, it has no psychoactive properties. It grows like a 'weed', requires minimal water and no herbicides or pesticides to thrive, produces incredible yield, improves soil health and the entire plant can be used. It is durable, feels similar to linen and blends beautifully with other natural fibres. It is the unsung hero of sustainable fibres.
Organic Cotton is a more sustainable and ethical alternative to conventional cotton. It is grown without pesticides from non-genetically modified seeds, it requires less water and avoids harmful chemicals increasing soil fertility. This not only benefits the land but worker's health improves in turn benefiting the larger community. And organisations like GOTS have taken a holistic approach to improve all stages of producing organic textiles.
