Our Story
A word from our founder:
Welcome to Gaea Collective, a not-so-ordinary clothing brand inspired by my love for nature and a very special plant called hemp. Hemp has the potential to mitigate climate change and it's one of the greatest opportunities of our generation. Gaea Collective is not just a clothing brand; it's a vision that emerged from the desire to make a positive impact and help heal our beautiful planet.
Growing up by the Mediterranean coast, I was immersed in the beauty of untamed nature and learned the importance of preserving it. This inspiration is evident in every piece we create, from the earthy colors and natural textures to the relaxed, minimalistic style.
Love, Ema

Hemp vs. Cotton
A product made with 100% hemp does not require any trees to be cut down, as hemp is a fast-growing crop that can produce more fiber per acre than cotton. Hemp requires significantly less water and no pesticides, making it a more sustainable choice for clothing production. The fibers in hemp clothing are stronger and more durable than cotton fibers, meaning that hemp clothing can last longer and be worn more frequently before needing to be replaced.
The number of trees needed for one bucket hat made of conventional cotton can vary, but it's estimated that approximately 2,700 liters of water and one-third of a pound of chemicals. Additionally, it's estimated that one acre of cotton can produce around 1,200 bucket hats, but it can also require around 2,000 gallons of water.
