Have you ever heard about clothes made of hemp? Voriino is a sustainable-conscious clothing brand that produces T-shirts made of a mix of hemp and organic cotton in Rotterdam. This unique combination or raw materials saves a lot of water during the production process. With warm shirts in the winter and cool shirts in the summer, Vorrino proves that fashion can be convenient for the consumer but also environmentally friendly.
