Sustainability and authenticity are at the heart of everything we do. From sourcing vintage pieces made to stand the test of time to creating plant-dyed garments using natural and eco-friendly methods, we strive to honor both the earth and the craftsmanship of the past. We believe in slowing down, embracing intentional living, and curating collections that inspire individuality and a connection to nature.
Ingredients from Nature
Our plant-dyeing process uses nature’s palette, including marigold, madder root, indigo, and avocado pits, ethically sourced. These organic materials bring unique, rich hues to each piece while remaining gentle on the environment.
Commitment to Natural Fibers
We work exclusively with natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, and linen. These materials not only take dyes beautifully but are also breathable, biodegradable, and sustainable, ensuring a better choice for you and the planet.
Sustainable Foraging Practices
Many of our dyes come from foraged materials like leaves, flowers, and vegetables. By sourcing locally and responsibly, we celebrate the abundance of the natural world while minimizing waste.
One-of-a-Kind Results
The beauty of plant dyeing lies in its unpredictability—no two pieces are ever the same. Each item is a wearable work of art, infused with the spirit of nature and handcrafted with care and intuition.
Gentle on Skin and Earth
Our plant-dyed garments are free from synthetic chemicals and harsh processes, making them safe for sensitive skin and kind to the environment. Wear your values without compromising comfort or style.
Rooted in Tradition
Our dyeing techniques draw inspiration from ancient methods used by cultures worldwide. By embracing these time-honored practices, we connect with a rich history of natural artistry and sustainable living.
