Announcing Hess Natur's online store!
Hello Thread Heads,
We came across this email and thought that you would all be interested in learning about this new company that is not only creating a sense of style and fashion, but is also eco-friendly! And now (starting in July), for the first time in the US market, you'll be able to buy their clothes online. Hess Natur is a 30-year old German sustainable clothing with designer Miguel Adrover as their new creative director. This is the first time that their clothes will be brought to the US market! Exciting!
Founded by environmentalist Heinz Hess in 1976, Hess Natur was built on a commitment to producing innovative design through sustainable means, pioneering industry guidelines for sustainable textile production, earning praise from designers and customers alike and garnering numerous design awards. Hess Natur's many accolades include the International Design Prize, a Factor 4 Plus Award, and special honors from the Design Sense Award by the Design Museum in London. Long heralded as an industry leader in eco-clothing in Europe, the company has continually set the bar for green fashion by adhering to rigorous organic and ecological production methods. By developing all natural textiles, the complete line of Hess Natur apparel consists of 100% natural fibers, including organic cotton, silk, wool and linen. Hess Natur's commitment to quality clothing is matched by its commitment to quality living for both those who produce and use their products. While many apparel companies label their garments organic, Hess Natur is unique in utilizing ecological methods throughout their entire textile chain, from fair labor to green production. The impact of an organic manufacturing process is huge: It takes nearly a one-third pound of pesticides and fertilizers to manufacture just one of the over 2.4 billion "pure cotton" tees that are produced globally each year.
