After being an eco-friendly industry leader in Europe for decades, green clothing company Hess Natur opened it’s virtual doors to the USA this past summer. Founded in 1976 by Heinz Hess, Hess Natur has been lauded by fellow designers and delighted consumers alike for their “environmental integrity and ingenuity” in the textile world. If you haven’t heard of them till today, that’s not surprising, because for the past 32 years, Hess Natur was only available in Europe, and for many years only via their mail-order system.
The clothes aren’t only hip and comfortable, they’re made using sustainable practices, and all of the 100% cotton products offered by Hess Natur are always 100% ORGANIC. Hess Natur only utilizes natural fibers, making an effort to use organic fibers as much as they can. Check out an informative section on the Hess Natur website that goes over exactly what is, and equally as important, what isn’t in their clothing: What You Wear Makes a Difference. From the dyes used to the hardware (buttons, zippers, etc.) Hess Natur is oh-so dedicated to making sure their clothes are constructed with materials that are non-toxic, safe and natural, with “compassion and respect toward our planet and its people,” including their workers.
Hess Natur offers a full line of sophisticated, classic yet chic styles for women, kids and babies. They even have a maternity line full of modern dresses, tops, outerwear and even underwear (nursing bras, reusable bra pads, etc) perfect for the eco-conscious mom to be. Mogul Miguel Adrover is the Creative Director of this environmentally friendly fashion house, so be sure to check out his haute line at Hess Natur.
