About Us
Celebrating the exceptional and enduring qualities of natural fabrics
Leaf & Loom was founded with a simple purpose: to bring hemp fabric back into everyday life and to show what hemp can be: refined, enduring, and profoundly sustainable. We are a small company with a big ambition: to champion sustainable fibres generally, and hemp in particular, which we feel has been unfairly overlooked and under valued. Every fabric we offer is chosen for its natural beauty, honest origins, and lasting quality.
A new look at an ancient weave
For centuries, hemp was one of Britain’s most valued crops — grown across the country and woven into cloth, rope, and sails. In Somerset, near where we live, fields of hemp once shaped both the land and the livelihoods of those who worked it. Then, slowly, it was forgotten — replaced by fibres that were easier to industrialise but far harder on the planet.
We are at an important turning point. After working within the industry for the past decade, we can feel a genuine shift — a growing energy around hemp once again. Across the UK and Europe, interest in cultivating and working with hemp is returning, and we are proud to be part of that renewal. To see hemp woven back into everyday life, valued for its strength, beauty, and respect for the earth.
Our purpose is to help hemp find its voice again.
Our mission is to show that hemp is much more than people imagine: not coarse or crude, but refined, versatile and beautiful. It is a fibre of remarkable strength, subtlety and character — every bit the equal of linen but arguably more sustainable.
Through our collection of thoughtfully made fabrics, we aim to reconnect people with this extraordinary plant — its history, its integrity, its versatility and enduring quality and to champion its potential to help shape a more responsible future for interiors and beyond.
