FAQ's

  • Are backpacks made from hemp good?

Hemp is a long lasting material that has been used for over 10,000 years. It was used to build ropes, ship sails and even some of Ford's cars, and that is why we use it to build our backpacks.

Hemp is also very ecological:

- consumes 5x less water than cotton

- restores the nutrients in the soil

- needs no fertilizers to grow

- captures CO2 from the atmosphere

By using Hemp we are not only making quality products, we are also helping the environment.

  • Are pure hemp bags smell proof?

Although our hemp fabric doesn't release any smell, the backpacks are not smell proof, meaning they will not hold any substances from smelling out. We are currently creating a smell proof hemp duffle bag that is expected to be released to the public in 2024. 

  • Are hemp backpacks sturdy?

Hemp is a fiber that has been used for millenniums. Ancient Egyptians used it to make rope, textiles, fine linen, and sails.

Hemp is a naturally durable fiber that was widely used in textiles and shoes until it was banned in the 70s. It was also used to build some of Ford's cars.

Unlike cotton, Hemp has long fibers, which brings a big edge in durability when making fabrics. For that reason, hemp is in many ways the strongest natural fiber available, and our backpacks are also very durable.

According to the Hemp Foundation, hemp can be even stronger than steel.

  • How can I wash my backpack?

Our hemp backpacks are made from premium hemp fibers and we recommend washing them dry using warm water, soap and a kitchen scrub. We do not suggest machine washing as it might damage some of the bag's parts and harm its ability to function properly.

Our Imperial Hemp Business Backpack was measured to fit exactly as a personal item to be placed under the seat of an airplane. The Imperial Hemp Duffle Bag was designed to be a great carry on that can be stored either under the seat or if packed to its limits, can fit perfectly above your seat in the overhead compartment. 

We suggest using your Hemp Business Backpack for your personal bag, and the Hemp Duffle Bag as your carry on.
