The Original Hemp Works Jacket is back!
Freshemp™ Originals is proud to present the return of the Original Hemp Works Jacket from Amsterdam: durable, eco-friendly jackets with the softest faux fur lining.
Our mission
Making you feel good on the inside, while looking beautiful on the outside. Our mission from the beginning has been to create a quality garment that everyone can wear. We are committed to the environment and produce sustainable clothing using pioneering techniques and eco-friendly materials. All our efforts and time are dedicated to listening to our customers' feedback and working closely with our factories. With all these insights, we have transformed an eco-friendly item into a must-have piece of clothing.
Our story
It was the 90s and the hemp fever was real. The hemp leaf was the most used symbol of the year and top artists were all mentioning hemp in their lyrics. This is the context in which Hemp Works was born, in 1993 when co-founders Adam Dunn (from New York) and Douglas Mignola (from San Francisco) met in Amsterdam.
We had a similar mindset and together we started the first hemp shop in Europe: Hemp Works. Neither of us came from the fashion industry, but we had a great concept in mind: to make a really beautiful hemp product that was also eco-friendly. We had to learn fast and little by little
We have transformed our products into true urban icons of Amsterdam.
The Hemp Works quickly gained worldwide recognition as “The Epicenter of the Hemp Universe,” Robert C. Clarke. Hemp Works jackets became the rock star of our store and started selling like hotcakes. You could even see famous artists like Woody Harrelson, Redman, B-Real, and Astro from UB40 wearing these jackets, and even Snoop Dogg dancing in his Hemp Works jacket in the snow on MTV. Our Hemp Works jackets, now Freshemp™, became local legends. They became a symbol of the city of Amsterdam at a time when eco-friendly products weren’t really a trend.
Our mission in 2021 is to bring back our legendary iconic hemp jackets.
Freshemp™ Originals proudly presents the return of the unconventional Original Hemp Works Jackets for men and women, created by Hemp Works & HoodLamb founder Douglas Mignola.
At Freshemp™ we don't like overproduction. We create slow fashion that is made to last for years. That's why we only produce a limited amount of Freshemp™ jackets each season. The result is a more balanced production,
