Naturally Dyed Garments
About
Our naturally dyed garments are always dyed over natural fibers (we use 100% deadstock cotton). These are currently hand-made and hand dyed with organic indigo powder or avocado seeds. Reflecting nature, colours will naturally change, mature, and fade over time, making it unique to you!
I hope you find beauty in this process. The natural origins of this garment also allow it to be compostable! Dispose responsibly!
If you need ideas on disposal, contact us here.

Upcycled Items
About
Upcycled garments have been created with homeware textiles (curtains, blankets, table cloths, etc.) collected from my local Op Shop.
By utilising these textiles, it saves them from landfill and avoids the creation of new textiles, which requires resources, labour and emissions. This also makes them one-of-a-kind or from a limited run. Due to the age and delicate nature of these textiles, they require gentle care. Please donate, re-create or pass-on post-use.
