NATURAL DYES 

As a hand dyed item using natural and botanical dyes, it's important to note that the hues and prints will evolve and soften over time. Because of this natural approach, our products may exhibit a degree of colour fading over time. This is entirely anticipated and aligned with our design philosophy.

We acknowledge this evolution as a testament to the authenticity of natural dyes and our craft. We believe this adds depth to our creations, these fading hues tell a story of the natural aging of materials and is inherent to the traditional craft of natural dyeing. 

We celebrate the organic evolution of our pieces and the inherent variations they undergo. These shifts in tone, print, and clarity contribute to the individuality of each piece. Perfect imperfections! 

Our commitment to your well-being and the environment is reflected in our deliberate avoidance of toxic chemical colour fixatives such as formaldehyde. Instead, we exclusively use natural setting agents. These alternatives, while not as potent as their harmful counterparts offer a more sustainable and responsible approach.

We endeavour to best represent our colours through photography, however kindly note that there may be variations in colour and print in your piece, this is part of the organic nature of our design process.
