Wash and Dry to Preserve Softness and Colour

the meaning

Pure reflects a state of clear, unblemished energy, representing the highest vibration of clarity and essence. It denotes an untainted and transparent state, embodying the concept that spiritual clarity manifests through an immaculate, original form. Solid represents a lower vibration of energy, where it condenses into physical, stable forms. This illustrates how spiritual essence can manifest through material stability, linking spiritual clarity with tangible stability. 13 symbolises the transformative process that facilitates growth and renewal, acting as a catalyst for change and innovation. Together, these elements illustrate how our spiritual clarity (Purity) and material stability (Solid) interact, with 13 representing the transformative process that drives growth and renewal.

our choice of fabric

When choosing our fabrics, we focus on how they will feel on the wearer. We select pure fabrics such as cotton and linen, which come in various weights and textures, primarily sourced from Japan and Belgium. These fabrics interact gently with your skin and allow it to breathe. Linen, available in both heavy and light forms, adjusts to your body and becomes softer and more comfortable over time. Canvas, made from cotton, has a sturdy form yet remains soft to the touch. Both fabrics age gracefully, retain their quality through time. Offcuts are a part of our process. We repurpose them by turning them into stuffing for bolsters or crafting them into bags and vests, making the most of our materials and putting our eco consciousness into practice.

We can call it

The Art of Natural Colour

We formulate our own dyes using natural ingredients and fixatives, creating shades from deep indigo to silvery grey. Locally made natural softeners are used to reveal the true textures of the fabrics while preserving the fibers. The water used in this process is also repurposed to nourish the plants in our dye garden, a harmonious cycle. This way of dyeing and fabric treatment is one element of the evolving beauty of each garment.
