While known for its strength, traditional hemp can also be coarse, van Gendt said, and the company’s production partners have taken care to ensure that the texture of the new material is “much more refined and elevated.”

The fiber is naturally antimicrobial, giving it the ability to minimize odors.
The styles feature cream and black motifs, with simple stripes adorning the bags, and more intricate patterning across the shoes.
Hemp is UV-resistant, van Gendt said, making it an ideal fiber for the summer months.
In order to maintain the structure and flexibility that define its popular footwear styles, Rothy’s has engineered a yarn that blends its widely used RPET with hemp, along with a portion of organic cotton.
About 50 percent of the blend is made with recycled plastic, van Gendt said, while the other half of the amalgamation is made using the two natural fibers.
The hemp is processed in a manner that prioritizes the creation of elongated fibers, adding to the material’s supple hand feel.
Simple stripes adorn the brand’s bag styles.
The hemp pail bag retails for $255.
