Shipping orders to The Hempest...

The Hempest - http://store.hempest.com/catalog/default.php. They are one of my wholesale clients and I have to say these orders keep getting better and better!!. This most recent order was compiled of hemp belts, hemp flap hats and a few hemp beanies. I'm pretty sure these will get disbursed throughout the Boston/Cambridge stores on the east coast. All of my hemp belts are made with hemp twine and a brass buckle - let me know if you would like a custom belt at http://www.nadiahandmade.etsy.com/ - thanks for reading :)

So I have been busy...

lately making hats, wallets, belts and fingerless gloves for The Hempest stores nationwide. The most recent order came from Bellingham, WA requesting some fingerless gloves in red, green, gold and black; rasta colours. I have always thought that the rasta colours would look great mixed in with hemp twine/yarn. Then I began making some items for my etsy.com store.
I call it the Rasta Collection/Series...
