About us
AnTerra is born from a passion for the land and for natural materials. We produce 100% hemp knitwear grown in Salento, with a short, artisanal supply chain that respects the environment and enhances the local territory.
We want to return to our origins, to our roots. When a piece of clothing was durable, of quality, and even when it was damaged, it was repaired and not thrown away.
Personally, I have always been amazed by the old black and white photos of our grandparents and great-grandparents. They did the most humble work in the world, yet in their eyes and expressions, there was always a sense of pride, an arrogance almost, but one that, if you think about it, is justified. It's a look that stays with you.
That's what I, or rather we, want. The pride of doing honest, well-done work that benefits not only oneself or one's family but also the community and the environment.
From soil to knit, with no shortcuts.
Our vision: The Total Short Supply Chain
The industrial fashion model has separated the land from those who produce clothes.
AnTerra does the opposite: it unites local agriculture with knitwear craftsmanship.
-
Direct cultivation: We select and cultivate textile hemp, minimizing environmental impact and enhancing local biodiversity.
-
Technical processing: From fiber to yarn, all the way to knitting machines, we manage every phase with artisanal precision and technical expertise.
-
Radical transparency: No hidden steps, no opaque subcontracts. Every garment has a traceable origin, from seeds to finishing.
What we do (and what we DO NOT do)
-
We make: Knitwear from pure plant fibers, durable, designed to last for years and integrate with the body.
-
We do NOT and will NEVER make: Fast fashion collections, synthetic blends, or products with "green" labels applied to unknown supply chains.
In all of this, we put our passion, our commitment, with a touch of self-irony and fun.
AnTerra is the result of a return to the essential: land, work, and knitting done right.
