About Us At HempBagz.com, we are dedicated to two things: The environment and the community: using renewable or recycled fabrics and bettering the lives of women.
We provide the training, the machinery if needed and the materials. Hemp fabric is a renewable resource and upholstery fabric samples and remnants are used rather than sending them to a landfill which gives our suppliers a great feeling having contributed toward environmental responsibility. By purchasing one of these large, convenient, reusable "green" bags, you are helping somebody earn a living wage from home while being available to their family AND helping to save the environment - and that is a pretty good deal! "Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique." --Anonymous P.S. If you or someone you know on the central coast of California has a sewing machine that can be spared and wants to place it in a good home we are looking for donations. A machine is gifted to each woman within the co-op who needs one for home use. Please use the contact form for a call back.

FROM THE FOUNDER I'm at a stage where my focus has turned outward rather than inward and my endeavors target helping this planet and its inhabitants. I've spent nearly half a century doing mostly for me and mine. It's been great and I count myself one of the lucky ones. I was able to finish college and then begin a practice of helping people get rid of pain (www.LanaBeattyPainRelief.com). My pragmatic nature is drawn to providing a means to help oneself. Most people need and welcome a sense of purpose and accomplishment but it's hard to have that when you are feeling hopeless. So in a little way I want to give some people a bit of purpose, rewarding the effort generously and fairly. And with that naturally will follow hope and optimism creating a ripple effect, which will positively affect in a big way. Please be a part of us by buying a bag or two and spreading the word. Gratefully yours, Lana Beatty |
