WHY ALPINE HEMP
Hemp impresses first and foremost with its natural properties - its comfort, good thermoregulation and environmental balance. Compared to cotton, hemp is more durable and breathable, it insulates better, withstands both heat and UV radiation better and has an antibacterial effect. In addition, hemp fibre can absorb up to 30% moisture and feels pleasantly dry.
NATURAL
Hemp is a sustainable, environmentally friendly and high-performance natural fibre.
BREATHABLE
Exceptionally soft and breathable, with light, airy fibres that feel pleasant against the skin and do not become electrostatically charged.
STRONG
Industrial hemp has a high tensile strength and is one of the most durable fibres in the world.
THERMOREGULATING
Hemp regulates body temperature and improves well-being.

PROCUREMENT & DEVELOPMENT
Hemp is the oldest textile fibre of all - and it has excellent prospects for the future.
Hemp cultivation has a long tradition in the Alps. In the past, Italy was the largest producer of high-quality hemp fibres. After economic restrictions due to political decisions in favour of other fibres, this branch of industry disappeared. After the 1960s, much of the expertise and machinery was transferred to China.
We have made a long-term commitment to support the Alpine economy and the utilisation of natural resources. We raise awareness of hemp cultivation in the Alpine region and the potential of this versatile plant.
