Eco-Print: The Clothing Process

Eco-printing is a technique that begins with connecting to nature—understanding and appreciating it—before transferring its essence onto fabric to create authentic, wearable art.

The process starts with gathering leaves and flowers, many of which are cultivated, while others are carefully sourced from the surrounding area. This allows for prints featuring vibrant colors, earthy tones, and unique patterns from exotic blooms and wild foliage. Identifying the types of leaves and flowers that produce the best results on textiles has taken years of practice and dedication.

Several factors contribute to the success of each piece:

• Cooking Times: Ensuring the colors bond deeply with the fabric.

• Fabric Sensitivity: Understanding how each textile reacts to heat and pressure.

• Proper Pressure: Keeping the leaves and flowers in place for precise prints.

• Patience: Waiting through the process to reveal nature’s gift is an art in itself.

Additionally, preparing the fabric is a critical step. Without proper preparation, the colors could wash out after the first use. This meticulous care ensures every design is durable and maintains its beauty over time.

Finally, crafting a harmonious design with stunning colors is what captivates those who appreciate the artistry and value of handmade work.

Each piece is a tribute to nature’s beauty, crafted with care for those who treasure uniqueness and sustainability.
