SAMANTHA VERRONE x JUNGMAVEN COLLABORATION

I’ve teamed up with Jungmaven to create a line of bedding made from hemp and dyed with minerals and botanicals. Hemp has the look and feel of luxurious linen and softens beautifully over time. Rusty bits make imprints on cloth that are light and wash fast. The alchemy that takes place with the introduction of tannin is a whole new level. For this collection I’ve used black tea which makes cool grays and gall nuts which make inky purples and pinks. Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with mild soap. Tumble dry on low and use wool dryer balls to reduce dryer time. Natural dyes may deepen or lighten with time. Each piece has its own unique patina that will evolve with your interaction - it will be uniquely yours. I’m amazed at the versatility of the hemp plant. Hemp grows quickly, produces more pulp per acre than trees, requires less water to thrive and is resistant to most pests. It’s durable and has many uses, including phytoremediation. I love what the folks at Jungmaven are doing to address the climate crisis while making useful goods from this mighty plant. I’m thrilled to collaborate with them on this collection.
