We offer  wonderfully touchable textiles in  a wide range of colors, textures, fibers and patterns.

Washable fabrics do not require the use of chemical drycleaning products to be kept clean:  mild soap  in cool water will remove dirt , lint,  dander and other allergens more effectively, without leaving toxic residues.

Our product line reflects our ongoing commitment to offer beautiful and durable products which are  made of fibers farmed sustainably and processed and woven in an environmentally-friendly manner.  As the demand for these "green" textiles increases,  more choices are becoming available, and  the  meaning behind the various certifications  applicable to the cultivating, processing, weaving, dying, and distributing  eco-friendly products is  becoming more widely understood.

It is our goal to provide clear, honest, and meaningful data to our customers;  we ask our suppliers to provide us with documentation to support all  "green product"  definitions we apply to our products.

SUMMERHOUSEGREEN  is our eco-friendly range of products

Certainly there are many degrees of sustainability.  We offer a range, and try to describe them as correctly and clearly as possible on our website.

Sustainability DOES make a difference

Farming hemp is far more sustainable than farming cotton:

requires less water and fewer nutrients from the soil to produce fiber.

The Summerhouse office and shipping facility is powered exclusively with renewable power:  solar is our primary source of power, and we harness the wind as the storms blow in - with  the windmill pictured on this website.  All packaging materials are reused or recycled.  

 We are committed  to be part of the solution. 

lasting quality  =  less waste  = a brighter future
