Hemp Bouquet pillow cases are handwoven on commercial pattern looms at our workshop with care and attention to every detail. Our offerings are all handmade, and as is generally true with handicrafts there are nuances between each piece. Variation is to be expected as well as respected as a mark of assurance that what you buy comes from the hands of real people.

The Romanian hemp yarn used in weaving our pillow cases is grown on local farms from improved hemp fiber varieties using low environmental impact techniques, and the fiber is processed in a modern long-fiber textile mill without cottonization. Hemp Bouquet pillow cases are backed with pure hemp fabric woven in Romania. We cooperate with the “Ataşehir Yunus Emre Özel Eğitim İş Uygulama Merkezi” vocational school for disabled adults for sewing and finishing our pillow cases.

Hemp Bouquet

In consultation with historical textile experts and traditional hand weaving teachers

Hemp fiber textiles are naturally anti-microbial, hypo-allergenic, and non-irritant. Pure hemp table sets are well-suited for households with wool-sensitive family members. Hemp fibers “breath” and do not hold odors like other fibers, so hemp fabrics remain fresh after prolonged use. Hemp fibers make durable and long-lasting table sets. Hemp offers a more sustainable alternative to many of the products we use today, such as cotton and synthetic fibers that rely heavily on petrochemical inputs. Hemp fabrics are biodegradable and recyclable. Hemp is well-suited for a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.
