Here at Wasteless Wonders, we are all about celebrating handmade, slow production. Which means very little machine work is used in the making of our products (really only a sewing machine) and most is done by two hands and many many repetitive motions. In this process, sometimes mistakes happen, a stitch is skipped or a row is woven in the wrong way.

A few weeks ago we released our first collection in collaboration with finnish home textile brand HEMPEA. Their products are made with ethically produced hemp fabrics - a material too precious to waste a single scrap of. In this article, we will dive deeper, together with Marja-Maija from HEMPEA, into the reasons for our collaboration and our shared passion for sustainability.

HEMPEA is a finnish sustainable brand, creating eco-friendly home textiles from 100% hemp fabrics. This spring we collaborated to create some unique products with some of their pre-consumer scraps - cut-offs in the production process of their bedding and home textiles. Their high quality, ethically made hemp fabrics are too precious to waste, so we took all the small, odd shaped pieces and created a collection of Wasteless Wonders products with them. ‍
