Trust
Hemp's vision is to
create clothing that is sustainable and fulfills the need
for artistic creativity.
The
company uses hemp and organic cotton fibers, recycles most of
the fabric scrap into one of a kind artistic garments, and
maintains collaborative partnerships with other artists.
James & Karen have blended their unique artistic vision
to create the company from their partnership in life. The
company got its start right as their first child was born in
1998. They decided that they wanted all of their designs and
fabrics to reflect their vision of ecological sustainability
and social equity.
The fabrics
used in all production are based on the availability of
domestically produced fibers and then those based on organic
cotton and hemp blends. Artistic creations, recycled from
the production of clothing items, will allow the company to
both make “one of a kind” art pieces and close the loop
in terms of number of pounds of garbage produced. Trust Hemp
sees the collaboration with the local artist community as the
overall key to the resurgence of the “maker is the seller”
market and the inspiration of new designs in our bio-region.
Creating an economy and business with the smallest carbon
footprint possible, plus healthy lifestyle options will be
some of our highest priorities.
