For colors, I use leaves, flowers, wood, roots, sometimes local plants (which I grow in my garden), sometimes less (Brazil, India, Europe).
But always with measure, it is to have as little impact as possible that I want my project to remain on a human scale, that's why I do everything myself!

Each scarf is unique thanks to the patterns created by Shibori techniques (knots, creases, pliers). It's a surprise every time I open a scarf after dyeing!
The chemistry that occurs during the vegetable dye makes the color alive, vibrant and gives a soul to the textile.

The colors are fixed by an Alun solution that makes the colors resistant to offers light and washing.
Easy maintenance, gentle hand washing, air-drying, gentle ironing.
