Importing Fine Quality Hemp Products from Nepal.

About Us

NIMBIN HEMP IMPORTERS has been in operation since 1999.

We specialise in importing hemp and silk products from Nepal where the people have been harvesting hemp to make their hand- spun garments for over 2,000 years.

Modern techniques have refined the processes used in the manufacture of these garments. Hemp is still collected by local village people in the higher mountainous areas where it grows in the wild; no deforestation is required for any of our products.

Production begins with the soaking of the plant, it is boiled with ash to naturally bleach it and make it soft.

After drying on the rocks in the Nepali sun, the hemp is spun into thread by hand and delivered to the looms to be spun into fabric. Hemp is very strong and durable; 10 to 15 times stronger than cotton.

Our products are not made in “sweat-shops” – our suppliers in Nepal employ local workers from many different regions and economic backgrounds including the disabled.

The hemp industry is a major employer of seasonal agricultural workers in Nepal and it has developed into being a huge export industry with products being shipped to every part of the world.

It is environmentally-friendly, comfortable to wear and it has qualities that allow it to breathe.

We also import a range of recycled silk products.
