The goal was and always will be to supply natural dyers with the best and most sustainable dyeing material while finding the balance of not industrialising it, because this is fast fashion isn’t it ?
Working with our suppliers in Asia, Middle East, Europe and South America, relatively according to the dye material, choosing to go locally or at least locally on the continent level when possible, is always a priority with the dyes native to this area to keep it as sustainable as possible. Our dyes are sourced extremely carefully from organic agriculture practices.
Mission
The first time I got introduced to natural dyeing, it wasn’t the first time I heard about it due to the fact that I come from a place in the world where natural dyeing was a main thing for a very long time as well as the planting of its plants. But after I studied and experienced and worked with natural dyeing, I started to speak to people about it and I noticed how much natural dyeing is either not heard of or have somehow a wrong image and understanding. One of my main missions is to spread the word of natural dyeing and supply whoever in interested in it, hobbyists or professional, with the best materials possible.
Stories
I want to try to write stories as much as possible to share with everyone the research and experience I’m fortunate to try. As nature is an infinite source for learning, colors are too. Every time I come to an end of a research project, quickly ideas start to rush on what the next one will be about after thinking that this might be the last. It’s amazing. If you’ve got some time, check out some of the stories here.
