Bilvaa | Men's Eco-Printed Hemp Blazer

Behind The Design

The Bilvaa blazer is eco-printed using wild jungle leaves foraged from forests in Jharkhand, with pigment transferred through steam rather than synthetic dye. The fabric is a hemp and cotton blend, chosen for its breathability and durability.

Because each print comes from real leaves rather than a repeated pattern, no two blazers turn out exactly alike. Buttons and construction are finished by hand by artisans in Jharkhand. At the end of its life, the jacket is fully compostable.

How It's Made

The fabric is scoured with soda ash to open its fibres, then treated with a mordant of Harad, alum, and aluminium sulfate — traditional, food-safe compounds used in natural dyeing for centuries.

Leaves from peepal, neem, and elderberry are placed directly on the cloth, treated with an iron solution to darken their veins, then bundled and steamed. The result is a plastic-free, hand-applied print, unique to each piece.

The Material Difference

Hemp vs. Polyester

Life-cycle assessment · per kg of finished fiber · cradle-to-gate (raw material extraction through primary fiber processing)

Hemp Polyester
Water 4,000–6,000 L 62–200 L
Energy 15–35 MJ 108–217 MJ
CO2 0.8–2.0 kg 2.0–27.2 kg
Source Renewable Fossil fuel
Fertilizer & pesticides Minimal to none None (industrial synthesis instead)
Microplastics None High
End of life Biodegradable Non-biodegradable

Better Moderate Higher impact

The trade-off: Hemp is significantly better for climate and relies on renewable materials and energy, but is more water-intensive than synthetic fibers. Polyester uses far less water but carries a much larger carbon and energy footprint.

Why the ranges vary: Figures span a range because manufacturing conditions differ globally — polyester made in a coal-powered facility sits at the high end of the CO2 range, while a facility running on cleaner energy sits at the low end.

Methodology & data notes
  • Water: Hemp's figure includes agricultural water, much of it natural rainfall ("green water"). Polyester's water use is mostly for equipment cooling during chemical synthesis.
  • Energy: Polyester relies on energy-intensive petroleum cracking and polymerization. Hemp's footprint comes mainly from farm machinery and mechanical fiber processing.
  • CO2: Hemp acts as a carbon sink while growing, lowering its net emissions. Polyester's emissions vary with the energy grid — coal vs. renewables — used in manufacturing.
  • Source: Hemp relies on annual crop cycles and topsoil health. Polyester is derived entirely from petroleum and natural gas extraction.
  • Fertilizer & pesticides: Hemp is naturally pest-resistant and is typically grown without synthetic pesticides, needing little to no fertilizer. Polyester uses no agricultural chemicals, but its production relies on petrochemical catalysts and industrial processing chemicals instead.
  • Microplastics: Polyester sheds synthetic microfibers during washing, which accumulate in marine ecosystems. Hemp is a natural cellulosic fiber and does not shed plastic.
  • End of life: Untreated hemp naturally decomposes and can be composted. Polyester can persist in landfills for centuries, though it can be mechanically recycled.
