In artisanal hemp, dyed naturally with indigo

Hemp is the natural fiber that best protects against the sun, in addition to its thermoregulatory properties. The qualities of this plant are also found in its agriculture: rapid growth, generally without chemical inputs or irrigation, with a strong carbon capture capacity.

Handmade in Vietnam

Some villages in Vietnam still cultivate and process this plant in the traditional way. The extraction of the fiber, its twisting into yarn, the weaving and the natural dyeing with indigo leaves are all steps resulting from a unique and ancestral know-how. The very resistant fabric thus obtained is the main component of Gorfoo caps.

the creator of Gorfoo, has maintained close ties with Vietnam for many years. He therefore often goes to the villages north of Hanoi where village women perpetuate the cultivation of hemp and its traditional use in fabric. The idea of ​​making caps was inspired by the anti-UV qualities of hemp.

But what is most important to him is sharing and encouraging this unique know-how, based on a culture that respects the Earth, and which requires patience and precision to transform the plant into fabric by hand.
