high vibration hand made hand dyed hemp and organic cotton clothing
offerings include casual earth friendly garments created from fabrics made of organic and fair trade hemp and cotton fibers - hand made, hand dyed, hand painted custom made and one of a kind clothing for fine tuned humans... the approach to construction draws upon the processes of making art or playing improvisational music - beautiful earthy materials become handmade wearable works, intended to inspire and built to last... gear made to live through many bright moments with you - to blend into the scene like the perfect costume in an inspired performance, of whatever you do and whoever you are
this assembly of simple shapes to cover and protect the human form is organized in three sections: archetypes (any design custom made to your size, fit preference, and color), incidence (one of a kind pieces in various sizes), and duplicates (ready made copies of archetypes in various sizes)... each section contains a selection of staples: under things, shirts, pants, dresses, tunics, over clothes, and accessories... the focus is on items that do not loose their appeal – basic, classic, archetypal tried-and-true designs – unique renderings of timeless, functional forms to fit the human frame – not subject to trends or fashions, they are comfortable, modest, healthy and durable, while still being cool, stylish, graceful and unique… they span the yin yang spectrum of women / men, warm / cool, tight / loose, long / short to fulfill many needs
most designs are the result of searching for ethical, modest, functional yet graceful natural clothing and rarely finding exactly what i was looking for, as well as requests from people looking for the same thing - genuine articles fit to live in... a whole lot of heart and soul goes into each piece - i go to great lengths to produce and offer something truly unique and as far from mass produced as it gets, with deep gratitude to be of service in such a unique way... new designs are ever in the works so please stay tuned, and if you have a special request for something you'd like to have custom made feel free to connect thru the shop or directly via email

got ahold of my first organic cotton clothing in 1993, both wearing it and using it to make cool art shirts for my dad’s indie record label, to compliment the music and promote organics… made another line of organic cotton screen printed art shirts in 1996, sharing them online for the first time... wore hemp for the first time in 2000 and started sewing with it in 2008, endeavoring in that time to wear only hemp and organic cotton, and at this point am covered from head to toe as well as it being a part of nearly every other aspect of life, thanks to the many awesome folks out there committed to providing such amazing resources and caring for this beautiful planet
it does change your life, your health, your perspective - protecting our physical being, keeping us warm, comfortable, breathing freely, moving freely, feeling good… hemp feels good… it looks good… it lasts long… its good for the earth... over these years of only wearing hemp and organic cotton, as much as i love organic cotton, a blend with the hemp definitely feels better than without it… most other fabrics, by the end of the day i can’t wait to take them off - even 100% organic cotton garments, but hemp isn’t like that, i never get that feeling - i can wear them all day and then sleep in them and be completely comfortable
the healing power of hemp fibers for our physical body, our aura, and our spirit - as it provides a peace of mind and a balance few other things do - is pretty much miraculous... in over 20 years of wearing it, that’s been and continues to be the personal experience... the essence of hemp is like a warm embrace, and its been an honor to be able to facilitate that intimate connection to nature in some way thru these garments... many thanks to everyone who has tuned in to, participated in, supported and enjoyed this wonderful experience of working with the plant spirit and gracious herb we humans call cannabis sativa... may we all continue to thrive together
