I create sustainable, everyday items using natural pigments from marigolds, indigo, and sappanwood. Each piece is hand-dyed in Bengaluru, turning simple fabrics into unique, wearable art.

## About Handmade with Nature: Our Products

When you choose a naturally dyed piece, remember that the colours evolve slightly over time, much like plants in nature. Because I use organic sources like marigolds and indigo, no two items are exactly identical. Every piece is washed, treated with natural mordants, and sun-dried, so expect subtle variations that prove it was made by hand, not a machine.

My process is rooted in patience. Unlike synthetic dyes that produce uniform, flat colours, natural dyeing relies on the chemistry of the earth. I source indigo for deep blues, marigold petals for vibrant yellows, and sappanwood for soft, earthy pinks. 

### The Art of Natural Dyeing
Each garment or notebook goes through a multi-day process. First, the fabric is pre-treated to hold the dye, then it is dipped into a dye bath. After rinsing and setting, it is dried in the sun. This is why you might see slight variations in shade or pattern—it is a result of the materials interacting naturally. 

### Products for Daily Life
*   **Naturally Dyed Apparel:** I focus on comfortable organic cotton, including oversized tees and kids' wear, which are gentle on the skin. 
*   **Handmade Notebooks:** These are bound in tie-dyed fabric covers. They are ideal for journaling or as thoughtful return gifts for events and corporate gatherings.
*   **Upcycled Pieces:** I take older, pre-loved items and give them new life with botanical dyes, reducing textile waste in our landfills.

### Care Instructions
To keep these colours vibrant for longer, treat your pieces with care. Hand wash them separately in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral soap. Keep them out of direct, harsh sunlight when drying. These simple steps ensure your piece ages gracefully.

I'm Kruthika. I started dyeing fabrics in my mother's kitchen using ingredients she’d rather I left alone. Now, I create these pieces to share that same tactile, messy joy of natural colours with you.
