It Started With a Problem
Most athletic wear, swimwear, and home textiles are made from synthetic fibers with endocrine-disrupting chemicals that touch the most sensitive skin on your body. We believed there was a better way.
Our Mission
To make the wellness fabric and yarn the world reaches for first — ultra-soft, high-performance, and free of microplastics and pesticides.
Hemp-lyocell that matches synthetics on stretch and durability, and beats them on everything that touches your health.
Read the JournalWhat Imperium Stands For
Three commitments that carry our fiber from the soil to your skin.
Regenerative Farming
It Starts in the Soil
Our hemp is grown regeneratively — no pesticides, and up to 95% less water than conventional cotton. Every harvest rebuilds the land instead of depleting it.
Fabric Without Microplastics
Clean Fiber, Start to Finish
That fiber becomes hemp-lyocell fabric that never sheds plastic — no microplastics in your wash water, in the ocean, or against your skin. Performance without the pollution.
True to Our Customers
Honest by Default
We tell you exactly what is in your fabric — no greenwashing, no hidden synthetics. Fiber you can feel good about wearing every single day.
Backed by Heartland
Imperium Fiber is the premium wellness-fiber brand from Heartland Industries — a team that has spent years building the supply chain for natural, sustainably grown hemp fiber without pesticides and empowering regenerative farming.
"Wellness starts with what touches your skin. We make the fabric
that helps you get to your goals."
