PLANT DYED
Every step is slow crafted by hand in my studio. From hand dyeing silk using natural dyes from flowers, roots, foliage, nuts, fruits, and woods, to tearing it organically into ribbons embracing imperfection, and lightly pressing for a natural texture. You are buying a "living color" that may appear to change depending on the lighting. The ribbon may have marbling and speckles from the natural dyeing process.
100% SILK
Ethical peace silk, hand-woven in India. Silk ribbon is hand torn for an organic look, therefore it has raw edges. If a thread is loose along the length of the ribbon, it can easily be cut. Measurements are approximate.

How are your silk ribbons made?
Following a wabi sabi lifestyle, every step is slowly crafted by hand in my studio: from hand dyeing silk using plant dyes from flowers, roots, foliage, nuts, fruits, and woods; sourced from fair trade companies or locally foraged, to tearing it organically into ribbons embracing imperfection, lightly pressing for a natural texture, and rolling onto handmade wooden spools.
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” - Lao Tzu
You are buying a "living color" that may appear to change depending on the lighting. Each silk ribbon is one of a kind and may have nuances, marbling, speckles. Plant dyeing embraces imperfection and find beauty in its authenticity.
