SHOP • Good Studios

When I started up SKL, I vowed there wouldn’t be a dreadlock or hemp fisherman’s pant in sight. I did not, however, make any promises about hemp bed linen, which is darn delightful. According to ethical superstars Good Studios, hemp is a miracle plant.  Incredibly versatile, it thermo-regulates to keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s naturally antibacterial quality means no pesticides or chemicals are needed in farming, and it requires very little water to grow. So ner. Good Studios’s hemp is grown and woven in China under watchful eyes to make sure they don’t just tick transparent ethical and sustainable supply chain boxes, they karate-chop them! All their pieces are manufactured in Adelaide, South Australia, use OEKO-TEX Standard 100 dyes, and are wrapped in biodegradable packaging. They EVEN subscribe to the Plant a Tree Program, so for every online purchase a percentage of proceeds goes toward planting a native tree in Australia. Oh, and they make beautiful clothes and swimwear, too. NB: fishermen will be disappointed.
