Details

Tor is a heavyweight hemp canvas with a close, dense weave and a pronounced surface texture. At 510gsm it is the weightiest cloth in the Leaf & Loom collection, built for pieces that get daily use.

It feels strong without being stiff, and the natural tone shows the slight variation you'd expect from an honest, unbleached fibre. This version is pre-washed, which softens the handle and takes out most of the initial shrinkage.

Best for: sofas and armchairs, headboards, ottomans and benches, structured cushions, upholstered panels.

Sustainability

Woven from hemp grown by small farming collectives in Romania and Ukraine, without pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. The fibre is separated by traditional mechanical methods rather than chemical retting. Hemp needs little water to grow and returns nutrients to the soil, which makes it one of the lowest impact fibres for interiors. Woven by a Sedex/SMETA audited supplier, independently assessed on working conditions, health and safety and responsible business practice.

From the Studio

Leaf & Loom is a Somerset studio devoted to one fibre: hemp. Founder Camilla Pugh has worked with it for over fifteen years and set out to show it at its best. People tend to picture hemp as rough and rustic, but these fabrics are refined and made to last. There are heavy canvases and twills for upholstery, and softer cloths for curtains and cushions, in pure hemp or blended with linen, cotton or silk. The European hemp is grown in France, the Netherlands and Germany, then woven in Eastern Europe by mills they've worked with for years.

Why Elken Chose It

Hemp is one of the most impressive natural fibres there is. It grows quickly with little water and far fewer pesticides than most crops, and it leaves the soil in better shape than it found it. As a fabric, it's one of the strongest natural fibres you can buy, and it gets softer every time it's washed. It breathes well and wears in rather than out. Because it's entirely plant based, it breaks down naturally at the end of its life. Leaf & Loom's fabrics show how refined a truly natural cloth can be, and that's why we wanted them on Elken.
