Dying fabrics was one of my first ventures into textile art. I used to play with huge vats of indigo in my backyard when my son was small. All his white onesies that had stains became a gorgeous rich blue, as well as all my husband's work shirts (and everything else in the house that could possibly be dyed). Although I love an all neutral wardrobe - as some aspects of my ideal self are classy and creamy. When I go a bit deeper, my true self is bold, and bright, and highly saturated with colours of my favourite flowers. When I see white items drop into the vat and come out the colour of marigolds, my heart skips a beat. I cannot wait to share these treats with you. Drape your bodies in these gorgeous labours of mine, each hand dyed by me with a smile on my face.

Here is a mood board inspired by our latest collection released on July 6th.
Everyone’s favourite Natural Brewers and our Celia Party Dress were hand dyed in 4 delicious summer colours. Cotton candy Pink, butter Yellow, sky Blue and peachy Orange, these soft hues are all dyed by hand in my kitchen - aka no two pairs are alike.

Sunshine, citrus and daffodils, we can’t get enough of this summery yellow.

Blue
Ocean waves, blue delphinium and endlessly clear skies. Feeling blue has a whole new meaning.

Orange
An aperol spritz or a creamsicle on a summer’s day. We’re all over anything orange.
