In the early ’90s, Robert Jungmann, the founder of Jungmaven, developed a profound passion for halting clear-cutting practices that were wreaking havoc on the planet. Recognizing hemp as a sustainable solution to various environmental issues, he envisioned creating high-quality hemp tees. During that era, hemp was not yet embraced in the fashion industry, but Rob’s determination was fueled by the desire to showcase both hemp’s vast potential for healing the planet and its potential as a forward-thinking textile.
Jungmaven’s mission is to promote awareness of the myriad uses of hemp and emphasize its regenerative qualities, positioning it as a sustainable alternative to finite, less environmentally friendly natural resources. Fashion, in this context, becomes a form of activism, conveying both our identity and our advocacy. Crafting beautiful, top-notch hemp clothing serves as Jungmaven’s way of providing a platform through which individuals can use their purchasing power to advocate for change and express their vision for a better future.
