The Sanctuary Collection
The Sanctuary Textile Collection by St James Whitting Design for Hemptech is a refined expression of nature, art, and interior storytelling. Inspired by the quiet beauty of autumn gardens, this capsule collection translates original Indian ink drawings, watercolours, and hand-rendered patterns into timeless textile designs.
Printed in New Zealand on a soft, warm, white woven base cloth, each design captures a sense of calm, layering organic forms with a scale and rhythm drawn directly from nature. The collection is designed to sit effortlessly within contemporary interiors—bringing warmth, texture, and a sense of sanctuary to both residential and commercial spaces.

Linen and Hemp have been grown for thousands of years providing warmth, protection, and comfort. Hemp requires absolutely no chemical sprays at all during its growing cycle. Linen also grows well with minimal chemicals used in its production and requires significantly less than most other textile fibre crops. Linen and Hemp fields do not require additional irrigation other than that supplied by nature. Fields of Linen and Hemp are gentle on the land and fit seamlessly into modern crop rotation cycles. Harvesting and processing Linen and Hemp fibre uses very little energy and does not harm the environment. All Hemptech’s Linen and Hemp is processed using the environmentally friendly dew-retting methods. Once Linen and Hemp fabrics have reached the end of their useful life they can then be recycled into paper products or insulation materials.
