What is linen

The legend of flax fiber began 38,000 years ago. From Europe to Asia, flax was once a symbol of civilization that attracted people from all over the world.

Flax, a natural and friendly natural fiber, has excellent green connotations. The friendliness with the earth is mainly reflected in the life cycle from crops to fabrics. Every purchase of linen products is a vote to protect the earth!
Flax plant is a true champion in ecology and sustainable development
Zero genetically modified organisms (GMO), zero irrigation during the growth process, and a large amount of CO absorption. The planting process rarely requires manual intervention and has the ability to resist insect pests innately. The growth process does not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and also has the effect of repairing heavy metals and nuclear contaminated land, which has unparalleled environmental protection value.

The durability and high density of the fabric make the service life of linen at least twice that of cotton, and it is stronger after washing, increasing the use of plants and reducing the waste of resources;
• Flax fiber is rich in silicon, which can be effectively antiseptic. The mummies unearthed in Egypt for thousands of years are the best example;

What is hemp

In the eyes of Western experts, it is known as the "second skin of the human body"; in the long history of the East, it is known as the "source of national textiles and the ancestor of clothing for thousands of years". Today, it is hailed as: the most perfect fiber since the birth of human civilization has become a strong competitor of flax in the future. Whether from the comfort to the human body, the usability, or the various indicators that are beneficial to humans and the earth, hemp has shown unparalleled advantages and has attracted more and more attention in the textile, medical, food, and energy fields.
"Hemp is the most useful, strongest, strongest, and most durable material on your planet. You can't make better clothes, stronger ropes, and more easily harvested pulp materials. You cut hundreds of them every year. Thousands of trees are made into pulp so that you can read in the newspapers how the world’s forests are destroyed. Hemp can supply you with millions of newspapers without cutting a single tree. In fact, hemp can cost a tenth The cost of replacing so many quality materials."
