Our Story

Co-founders, designers and Nashville natives - Jeremy and Susannah - met while building a house in Haiti during college. Their paralleled interest in travel and the desire to serve in the developing world, would lead them to venture all over Southeast Asia.

The idea for a sustainable product had been cultivated ever since Susannah returned from Cambodia in 2012. While backpacking the region, she always seemed to notice heaps of discarded cement bags that cluttered the streets and around job sites. She met a talented woman at the night market who was transforming this trash into unique bags. They became instant friends as she marveled over how interesting this upcycling process was. Fast forward to 2016. Welcome to our brand, CEMENT6.

Our mission is simple: To break the chain of fast fashion by creating a sustainable, quality product - coupled with the desire to serve our local and international communities. Today's fashion industry relies heavily on mass production and large corporations selling products at low prices. Unfortunately this overconsumption comes with a hidden price tag - where the environment and workers are the ones who pay. At CEMENT6, we work directly with artisans in Cambodia to create your one of a kind product. We do not believe in speed, mass production or low wages.

CEMENT6 also strives to be a company that serves. The GIVE6 concept represents the philanthropic, sustainable and economic impacts we aim to have in our local communities and abroad. We hope you love our products and their stories as much as we do.

Please let us know what you think! We welcome all ideas, comments, encouragement and criticism alike. We are excited to provide you with a product you can be proud of, as we continue working to be a positive influence in the industry.
