About our Hemp Pashmina

Rapanui hemp products start life in China, North of Beijing. Hemp is a low-input, high-yield crop that is resistant to pests - which makes it a very benign and sustainable crop to grow. Coarse hemp stalks are baled from the field and trucked to the mill, where the hemp is softened and milled into a wool or yarn and spooled up ready to be made into a fabric.

The spools are sent to the factory in Suzhou, just outside of Shanghai in China where fabric is cut and sewn into garments. The factory is safe, clean and well-lit, with an excellent track record for health and safety. It even has an organic vegetable patch outside that supplies the work canteen. Finished products are transported by ship from Shanghai to Felixstowe, then are delivered to, and distributed from, Rapanui on the Isle of Wight.

Award-Winning Traceability

It is impossible to make an ethical choice if you don’t know where clothing comes from and how it is made. Very few people do these days, even high-street stores themselves. At Rapanui you can investigate the whole supply chain and find out the details about where this item was made, who made it, and how it got here, from Seed to shop. It is called traceability.
