Hemp fabrics – robust textiles with hemp content

Hemp is one of the oldest known textile fibers in the world. As a component of modern fabrics, hemp fiber impresses with its robustness, durability, and low ecological footprint. At Lebenskleidung, you'll find select fabrics containing hemp that combine natural functionality with contemporary craftsmanship.

We currently do not carry any fabrics made from 100% hemp. Instead, we focus on sustainable blended fabrics that combine hemp fibers with other natural fibers. This creates fabrics that utilize the positive properties of hemp while being softer, more versatile, and easier to work with.

Hemp as a textile fiber

Hemp is a plant stem fiber obtained from the bast of the hemp plant. For textile applications, only low-THC varieties of so-called fiber hemp are used. These plants grow quickly, require relatively little water, and need significantly fewer pesticides than many other fiber crops.

Why hemp in mixed fabrics?

Pure hemp fabrics are very robust, but can appear stiff. In blended fabrics, hemp unfolds its full potential: The fiber contributes stability, durability, and breathability, while other natural fibers – such as cotton or lyocell – ensure softness, drape, and comfort.

  • high tear resistance and durability
  • breathable and moisture-regulating
  • antibacterial properties
  • durable and dimensionally stable
  • Increasingly pleasantly soft with use

Hemp fabrics in clothing

Our fabrics containing hemp are carefully selected. We use hemp where it is functional and ecologically sound – always in transparent combination with other fibers. You can find the exact material composition detailed for each item.

Sustainability & Responsibility

Hemp is considered a particularly resource-efficient fiber. When used in blended fabrics, it helps to make fabrics more durable and significantly increases their lifespan. This results in textiles that are not only sustainably produced but can also be used for a long time.
