Indigo hemp cap made of handcrafted fabrics from Vietnam

Traditional handcraft for a modern product 

  • For centuries, Hmong communities have grown and woven hemp on old looms to make their traditional clothes.
  • Looking for ecological materials, we went to meet them in the north of Vietnam, in the mountains around Sapa.
  • Seduced by this beautiful know-how and to support its transmission to next generations, we directly buy fabrics there at a fair price.
  • Those traditional fabrics exist either in natural color or naturally dyed with indigo.
  • Gorfoo caps collection is based on this high-quality material. This way, we promote traditional hemp under a modern product. Besides it is a great way to benefit from the natural anti-UV properties of hemp !

Indigo dye

The INDIRIDZ cap is made of 100% organic handcrafted and indigo-dyed hemp, one of the most ecological fabrics ever.

Indigo dye is a natural process still used in the villages around Sapa in order to dye fabrics in blue.

  • To do so, indigo leaves get picked by hand on the bush of the same name.
  • Then those fresh leaves are put in a big tank to be boiled with the fabric.
  • Finally the dark blue dye gets fixed on the fabric, which shrinks.
  • This dye remains very well on hemp.

Features

  • Trucker cap with Gorfoo logo embroidered on the front.
  • Size : 59 cm. Adjustable until 65 cm by notches system at the back of the cap.
  • Color : indigo blue (natural dye).
  • Back of the cap is in polyester partly recycled.

The qualities of hemp

It is an ancestral plant which has many agronomic and ecological assets :

  • First its crop does not require chemicals, because hemp grows very quickly and therefore smother the weeds ;
  • Thanks to its deep roots, it draws the water it needs ;
  • Moreover, its culture improves soil structure, thus increases the following crops yield ;
  • One hectare of hemp absorbs between 14 to 18 tons of CO2 per year ;
  • The density and height of its culture make it a unique biodiversity reservoir ;
  • Last but not least, it is a very versatile plant. It can be fully used, whether it is for construction, paper, food (human, birdfeed), cosmetic or textile.
