Our Process
Every piece is the work of many days. This is why.
It begins in the garden
Before anything is made, there is the garden. We walk through it and choose the leaves ourselves, the ones ready to give their shape and color. Some are picked from high in the trees, some gathered close to the ground. Nothing is ordered from far away. What becomes a pattern tomorrow was still growing this morning.
The cloth is prepared
Good color needs honest cloth. Each length of fabric, woven for us by hand, is first checked and then washed and left to soak for a full day before it dries in the sun. It is quiet work, and it cannot be rushed. Only clean and patient cloth will hold what comes next.
Then the dye, and the leaves
Over the following days we prepare our botanical dye, drawn from plants and left to deepen in its own time. The leaves are laid onto the cloth by hand, one by one, arranged the way you might arrange flowers. The fabric is folded over them, rolled, and left to rest. No heat yet. Just time, a full day of it, letting the leaves and the cloth begin to know each other. Only then does the steam come.
Time finishes the work
After steaming, the cloth is left to cool on its own, then dried in open air for two more days. The leaves are lifted away, and what they leave behind stays in the fabric. A final wash in clean water, one more day in the sun, and the piece is ready. From garden to finished cloth, nearly a week and a half has passed. We think you can feel it.
Nothing is wasted
Our way of working leaves a light mark on the earth. We use no harsh chemicals, and what remains at the end, the spent leaves and the water that carried the color, returns to the soil it came from. The garden gives to the cloth, and in time the cloth gives back to the garden.
This is slow work, and we would not have it any other way. A gift from nature is worth the wait.
