Bohempia

Czech company Bohempia develops sneakers, apparel, and accessories made from 100% natural hemp. 

Hemp is regarded as a highly sustainable material and is one of the strongest natural fibers. It has great tensile strength, moisture-wicking, and antimicrobial properties. Bohempia aims to utilize hemp to produce natural sustainable consumer products.

The production process starts with the acquisition of industrial-grade hemp from Romania. The raw hemp fiber is then spun and woven into yarn. The yarn is then knit and dyed making it ready for production. The conversion process takes place in the Czech Republic in an effort to localize the production.

The resultant products are designed, prototyped and tested at Bohempia's studio in Prague. Following this, it is ready for consumer sale. 

The usage of hemp has several advantages over traditionally used cotton:

• 50% less water required for growth,
• Less damaging to soil,
• Requires less land to grow,
• 4 times the yield of cotton,
• Requires 95% fewer agrochemicals.

The use of hemp makes Bohempia's products durable, breathable, moisture-wicking and antimicrobial. All the products are 100% vegan. 

Bohempia produces sneakers, apparel, and other accessories. The upper canvas of the sneakers is made completely from hemp and the soles are made using rubber. The sneakers and apparel are for both men and women. Accessories like socks, belts, and bags are also available.

Bohempia products can be bought through the official website. They are also opening their USA based retail and B2B platform.
