Hemp Fashions
Caprice Inc. is a hemp based business that is growing like a weed.
The company began as a small woman�s hemp clothing company based in Sudbury but is now offering an expanded range of hemp based products across Ontario.
�We promote products that emphasize a healthy lifestyle and environment, �said Sherril Benoit, President of the company.
�Having spent a few years in the sales industry, mainly in women�s clothing, I�ve become very familiar with the needs and wants of many women,� said Benoit.
Most women seek a unique classic line of comfortable clothing, produced with quality material, manufactured in Canada but sold at a reasonable price according to Benoit.
�Thus was Caprice born as my garments are produced from hemp blends that result in the most durable and environmentally friendly product possible as an alternative to cotton.�
Cotton is notorious for requiring heavy pesticide and herbicide use and is rough on agricultural soils. Hemp grows like a weed without needing environmentally destructive chemicals.
Caprice has expanded their product line, venturing into home basics like soaps and candles. She also is manufacturing shower curtains, bath towels, hand towels, face cloths and soon to come, bath mats, all from hemp.
