Silky Hemp Tie Side Knickers – Natural

These beautiful tie-sided knickers are 60% hemp and 40% silk, meaning that the fabric is luxuriously soft, but durable at the same time.

Why Hemp?

Natural fibres seem to suit underwear because they tend to harmonise with our most sensitive regions. Hemp is a natural fibre, and it blends beautifully with other natural fibres, including silk and organic cotton. Hemp is the ultimate natural fibre, and unlike cotton it can grow practically anywhere, even on otherwise unusable land.

One of the great benefits of hemp is that pesticides are rendered unnecessary, as insects can’t stand the plant! Pesticides are the main cause of humanitarian and environmental problems associated with fibre production. Herbicides are also unnecessary as hemp grows far quicker than any weed.

Cupid Ring – silver La Jewellery

This stunning range has become one of our most extensive collections, with two torques – a large, two heart version and a smaller, single heart version – as well as a bangle bracelet and earrings.

The pretty, feminine, ‘Cupid’ ring now joins the collection as the perfect finishing touch.

At La Jewellery, we employ part time staff and we pay them over minimum wage per hour. This is not a boast to make us look good, it is simply a fact and it is done consciously, to support the principles we operate under.

Quite simply, we value our staff and the system of payment we employ, ‘piece work’ (a system where payment is made per item of jewellery completed), enables us not only to pay them in accordance with our commitment to their skill and creativity, it also allows both me and them a greater sense of work/life balance. In addition, it fits in with our ‘Fair Trade’ policy, which we believe should be an integral part of the British culture as much as it is abroad.

So, our jewellery assemblers are paid in a way which best facilitates them working from the comfort of their homes, meeting the needs of family members and living life with a greater degree of freedom, while still gaining an income. It also allows us as a company to further our belief in the principles of the ‘SLOW’ Movement and fulfill these beliefs in a tangible way.

There is a sacred place in Northern India at the confluence of the Sarasvati and Drishdvati Rivers. The place is known as Ilayaspada or the place of Ila, and it is called the holiest place on the earth in Vedic texts. Absolutely everything in Ila products comes from a plant or mineral – and nothing else. This stems from their faith in the power of nature as the source of real wellbeing.
