NIMBIN HEMP IMPORTERS

We have been in operation since 1999.  We specialise in importing hemp and silk products from Nepal where the people have been harvesting hemp to make their hand-spun garments for over 2,000 years.  Hemp is still collected by local village people in the higher mountainous areas where it still grows in the wild; no deforestation is required for any of our products.

Production begins with the soaking of the plant, it is boiled with ash to naturally bleach it and make it soft. After drying, the hemp is spun into thread by hand and delivered to the looms to be spun into fabric. Hemp is very strong and durable; 10 to 15 times stronger than cotton.

The hemp industry is a major employer of seasonal agricultural workers in Nepal and it has developed into being a huge export industry with products being shipped to every part of the world.

It is environmentally-friendly, comfortable to wear and it has qualities that allow it to breathe. We also import a range of silk products.
