About Us

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hemp Fortex was founded in 1999 with the idea that textiles can be luxurious and high quality while simultaneously being sustainable and eco-friendly. Our products are created with the promise of innovation, performance, quality, and delivery. We call it conscience without compromise.

 

Our unique position as a vertically integrated manufacturer and converter gives us stewardship over every part of the process. We source the best and most environmental fibers, spin the highest quality yarn and knit and weave fabrics that are both fashion right and eco-friendly.

 

We work only with our own manufacturing facilities or facilities where careful audit, land standing relationships and our own QC staff insure that our strict standards are met. We use only EU approved dyes and chemicals in our dyeing and finishing and carefully monitor and control waste water.

 

Our new collections each season incorporate not only the latest trends but also the newest findings and innovations in low impact manufacturing. We also guarantee the highest quality of craftsmanship.

 

Originally based out of Qingdao, China, Hemp Fortex has now grown into a global enterprise. With employees and distribution centres all around the world, we ensure large scale production with bespoke customer service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In June 2013 Hemp Fortex founded Hemp Fortex Foundation. Lead by our CEO, the foundation aims to help those who have been affected with physical disabilities be able to afford their medical bills and day-to-day lives. The board consists of five employees from Hemp Fortex.

Hemp Fortex also participates in several other humanitarian efforts including garment donations to the Leprosy Project in Sichuan. As hemp is antibacterial, there are hopes that these textiles can assist those affected with Leprosy.

Our Fibers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With such a wealth of benefits, this ancient fibre is surely the future of fashion.

 

Our unique variety is the bast hemp plant, cultivated in the mountains of Northern China; comfortable, breathable, and cool to the touch. It is a luxurious textile that can be woven to be soft and fine or thick and durable. It is one of the strongest, natural fibres and its antibacterial properties as well as its resistance to UV rays make it ideal for athletic wear and enduring garments and accessories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cotton has many benefits — comfort, durability, affordability — yet its environmental impact is great.

 

Conventional cotton growth releases more toxins into our oceans than any other crop. It’s for these reasons that choosing organic cotton makes sense. Grown without the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides, our organic cotton keeps our oceans clean, eliminates the allergens found in conventionally grown cotton, and provides our consumers with not only soft and high quality fabric but peace of mind when it comes to their environmental footprint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Performance fibre that is both strong but soft, our Recycled PET is a guarantee easy-care fabric.

 

Breathable on the skin, this textile wicks away moisture from the skin and promises the wearer all-day comfort. Furthermore, using Recycled PET cuts down our dependence on petroleum-driven fabrics and reduces landfill by using recycled plastics and water bottles. Even better, textiles created from Recycled PET can be continuously recycled with no degradation of quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Made from the dissolved pulp of sustainable wood, TENCEL™ is a high flexibility fabric that can simulate a variety of textures from silk to denim.

 

TENCEL™ is also manufactured with the highest grade of sustainability in mind, using a closed loop production process, high resource efficiency, recycling process water, and reusing solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%. Consumers receive both a long-lasting and opulent textile, but also a textile that does not have a negative impact on the environment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yak Fibre has been used for over a thousand years in particular parts of Asia and Mongolia to make luxurious but dependable textiles.

 

Soft and fine, it’s warmth and exotic nature make it an excellent alternative to cashmere. Found at high altitudes, foraging on scrub rather than grazing, the yak is a minimal land use animal and thus its diet doesn’t contribute to deforestation. It’s recent popularity in the contemporary garment industry reflects the markets desire for more sustainable, high-end fabrics.
