About
Avocado dye is made by heating avocado pits and shells in simmering water for several hours, bringing out the fruit’s pink pignment. When applied to natural fiber for several days, the pigment finds to the fabric on a molecular level.
Silk charmeuse, a french satin fabric, is one of the finest, most fiber-dense silks on the market. Wonderfully soft and shiny, charmeuse perfect for beauty and wellness. It is naturally hypoallergenic, thermoregulatory, and prevents hair knotting and bedhead. Best for curly, natural hair and sensitive skin.
Shibori, a traditional Japanese resist-dye technique, creates organic shapes and patterns dyed directly into a textile. Think a more sophiscated tie-dye using rope or string rather than rubber bands.
