Children's clothing is a topic that gets everyone into a heated debate. Choosing the right clothes for children, from toddlers onwards, is indeed very difficult, since so many different factors have to be taken into account, including hygiene and sanitary factors, as well as good looks and perhaps even durability. In fact, it is necessary to choose garments that are suitable for more sensitive and special skins, such as those of little ones. In this case, it is strictly necessary to find high quality clothing, made of fabrics that can be comfortable, but also hygienic for the little ones. To achieve this, one must move towards finding more ecologically sustainable and organic fabrics, such as hemp.

Clothing for children: why choosing hemp

There are many organic and natural fabrics that can be ideal for making children's clothes, such as wool and organic cotton. It is very important that the clothes are made without using chemical treatments that can irritate the baby's skin. For this reason, natural hemp can prove to be the best fabric for making clothes for children of all ages, from toddlers to adults. Here are some reasons why hemp is the most ideal choice:

Hemp is a very resistant fibre

Hemp is a natural fibre known for its great strength, which helps to create an extremely durable natural fabric. Not only can it give the possibility of creating well-made clothes, but it is also very durable. This characteristic is extremely important in clothes for toddlers, which are very often subject to wear and stains of all kinds.

Hemp is breathable

Organic hemp has many very useful characteristics that can be used in the field of fashion, but one of the most important is its great transpiring capacity. Thanks to the manufacture of the Cannabis sativa fibres and the weave that is created during weaving, hemp clothes allow all traces of sweat and undesirable odours to pass through. This makes it ideal for the creation of children's clothes, as they remain easy to wear for a long time and comfortable for little ones.

Hemp textiles is easy to wash

Thanks to the hard-wearing properties of hemp, clothes made from this organic fabric are very easy to wash and remain durable even after numerous washes. In this way, the clothes can last a long time and be used by children for a long time. Furthermore, if they are not very dirty, it would also be sufficient to leave them in the open air overnight so that the fibres are regenerated by the air and the fabric cleans itself.

The softness of hemp

Organic hemp is often considered very stiff by many consumers, due to the strength of its fibres. Contrary to what one might think, organic hemp fabric can be very soft, especially after a few washes. To the touch, hemp clothes can give a wonderful soft feel, perfect for more sensitive skins, such as those of children.

Hemp is the most hygienic fabric on the market‍

The fibre hemp textile has many hygienic and healthy qualities, making it the perfect fabric to wear. In fact, hemp protects our skin from numerous external agents, such as mites, bacterial growth, mould, termites, chemicals and even fire. Moths can also be kept away from this fabric, as they do not primarily attack fabrics made of hemp. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, wearing garments woven from hemp protects you from any external dangers and threats, an element that can never be lacking for children's clothes, which are more sensitive and therefore need special protection from any agents that can harm them.

Hemp against UV radiation

Hemp sativa protects your skin from many elements that can be harmful to our bodies. In fact, hemp fabrics also form a natural protection against the sun's UV rays, protecting our skin and bodies while leaving them cool.

Natural colours

Organic hemp is a type of fabric that can be processed 100 per cent naturally, so as to avoid all-too-invasive chemical processes. This, however, does not mean that hemp garments are plain and monotonous, it is quite the opposite! Thanks to various methods of cultivating and processing hemp fibres, many different colours can be obtained, all in a completely natural way!

Environmentally sustainable and recyclable

Textile hemp is one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable fabrics for the clothing production chain. Indeed, its production involves the consumption of very few raw materials, such as fertile soil and water, and it can be grown without any preservatives or insecticides, thus far from harmful chemicals. Despite this, it must be considered that textile hemp continues its eco-friendly journey, even after its natural cycle! In fact, clothes and products made from sativa hemp are very easy to recycle and take very little time to decompose, unlike many other fabrics used in the fashion world. This element is extremely important for children's clothes, as they have a shorter lifespan than other garments, as toddlers can grow faster and no longer fit into their clothes. In this way, you can get rid of your children's clothes without any worries.
