To see a directory of hemp based clothing and accessories, check out the Happy Hippie. One of my favorites is the Hemp Queen. Kristen Davis combines her artistic talent with sustainability. I think it’s awesome that Kristen uses her love of crafts and sewing to create beautiful hemp clothing.
She designs all her own clothing out of hemp, making each piece unique. Besides using hemp clothing, she also recycles clothes made out of other materials to decorate her one of a kind creations. She feels it’s important to push for the legalization of hemp farming. It’s important for our environment and our economy. If we all supported hemp products both would improve.
