From a Cup of Herbal Tea to What You Wear on Your Feet

Hemp has been rooted in the lands of China for over 8,000 years. Not only was it revered as a medicinal herb by Shennong (hemp seeds, known as huŏ má rén, remain a common ingredient in the herbal teas we drink in Hong Kong today), but its strong bast fibers also supported ancient industries—from weaving cloth and making ropes to crafting tools, its presence was everywhere. Today, we are reinventing this "steel of the plant world," creating footwear that carries historical depth while meeting contemporary needs.
