Botanical Eco-Printing & Hand-Painting

Our eco-printing process is a collaboration with nature, which is why it requires a little patience. We use a steam-bundling technique where fresh botanicals are arranged on the fabric and then steamed to transfer the pigment directly into the fibers.

The Process Behind the Print

• Seasonal Sourcing: We use whatever the season offers—marigolds in bloom, fresh basil, or fallen leaves. This ensures your collection reflects the current cycle of nature.
• Natural Fixatives: Instead of harsh chemicals, we use complex mordants like iron and alum to modify colors and lock them into the fabric, making them durable for everyday use.
• Hand-Painted Details: For designs like our wavy lines, we use natural iron-black pigments. This isn't a repeat pattern; our hands create every curve, ensuring your textile has an organic flow.

Practical Details for Brands

Because this is a manual, pigment-transfer process, we typically require 3 to 4 weeks for production. This covers the sourcing of fresh materials, the labor-intensive arranging of petals, and the final curing. We work on high-quality natural fabrics like Mulberry silk and cotton. If you need a specific aesthetic—whether it’s minimalist, bold, or floral-heavy—let’s chat about how we can adapt these techniques to your brand's vision. Please note that our minimum order quantity is 40 meters per design, as every batch requires a dedicated steam-bundling cycle.
