Earlier in the year I travelled to Jaipur, India to work on our new 100% hemp linen collection—rooted in nature, inspired by tradition, and crafted with intention. From meeting our incredible makers at EchoEarth to experiencing the magic of traditional block printing, this journey was about more than just clothing. It was about connection—between people, places, and the energy woven into every thread.

Synthetic clothing isn’t just a fashion choice — it may be quietly affecting our fertility. From old polyester studies showing reduced sperm counts to new research finding PFAS, phthalates, and microplastics in reproductive tissues, science is raising concerns about what synthetics do to our bodies.

ZONE by Lydia has just won big at the Clean + Conscious Awards 2025 — with our Hemp Bralette taking GOLD + Editor’s Choice, and our Anaya Hemp Set earning SILVER. These awards celebrate the very best in non toxic activewear, hemp clothing, and sustainable yoga gear, rigorously tested for quality, comfort, and ethics.
