Nettle Girardinia diversifolia, commonly known as the Himalayan Nettle Cotton despite being a natural fibre, is one of the most unsustainable crops owing to the extensive use of fertilisers and pesticides in its production, so the global textile industry has been looking for alternative fibres, which can reduce our heavy reliance on cotton. Clothing has been made from nettle for 6000 years. But was replaced by synthetic and other fibres. The fibre is not just sustainable; it actually improves the environment in which it grows by helping to control erosion and preventing deadly landslides. Collection creates income opportunities for Nepali villagers producing fibre using low tech methods. 100% Organic and Sustainable More environmentally friendly than cotton Elegant, fine and durable High tensile strength Antimicrobial and Antibacterial
