MANASTASH took its first breath in the vast wilderness of Seattle, one of the largest cities in the northwest America, in the summer of 1993. The coniferous forest that exists from the beginning of time, trout that runs through the river, the road which does not exist on the map… Outdoor activities are part of life for the people in Seattle and they have a high conscious to learn and coexist with the nature. It may not be the coincidence that Manastash was born in Seattle.
The philosophy of Manastash is to “use eco-friendly fabrics, while creating functional outdoor clothings”. Hemp is a recyclable resource and is considered as a high-yield crop that does not use pesticides or other chemicals for it has no known insect enemies and can withstand the bad weather conditions. Thus, it is widely known as “a significantly ecological fabric that is friendly to earth” from its characteristic to preserve the forests and its ability to remove toxins from the drinking water. Manufacturing products that walks hand-in-hand with the nature is what Manastash will continue to do.
