Where to begin with this line of environmentally friendly hemp products? For starters, the traditional linens are made from a combination of recycled vintage fabrics and hand-woven hemp, using the same weaving and embroidery techniques that have been used for generations by the women in Transylvania.



Textile designer Cara Spinelli is the woman responsible for bringing these products to a larger audience. A fair-trade arrangement guarantees that the artisans, as well as the small, family-run farms where the pesticide-free hemp is grown, are all paid a living wage.  Not only do the artisans benefit, but my picnic table does too!


But what about carrying home the leftovers? You can find these wonderful tote bags made from vintage grain sack through Rare Device for $65.


And clean up those spills without resorting to throwaway paper products. These soft, absorbent striped kitchen towels from Branch are just $19 each.
