Luscious silk is sprinkled with locally gathered botanicals, rolled, tied and steamed gently for hours to slowly infuse the fibres with the natural pigments, leaving unique, one of a kind imprints. The fabric is then carefully trimmed and hand sewn in my Sydney home studio. Silk is a thermal regulator, making this scarf perfect through the seasons. Wear it as a neckerchief, bandana or accessorise your handbag, this timeless piece is quietly luxurious with an understated elegance.
Only non-toxic metal salts and natural pigments are used in my dyeing process, so the end product is not only kinder to the environment but also safer and gentler on your skin. Each leaf and petal I use is also sourced conscientiously - I grow what I can in my are either grown in my home garden, gather mindfully in Sydney suburbs or collect kitchen and floral waste from local businesses.
Dyed with a mixture of foraged and reclaimed gum leaves and buds.
Approx. 60 x 60cm.
Each item is handmade and one of a kind, so your scarf will be entirely unique and different from the one pictured. Variations in colour and details are all part of what makes your item special and should be embraced.
