We dye this silk satin kimono by hand with Balinese tree leaf and iron , allowing the colors to emerge slowly from the earth itself...tones that shift between shadow and light as you move through your day.
The silk is slowly submerged into the dye bath as we slowly move the fabric with our hands. Each piece drinks in the plant dye differently, creating organic variation that can't be replicated.

Tending to your silk
Less washing, more wearing.
Let it breathe between uses…
and only wash when it truly needs it–cold water and natural soap.
Dry slowly, in the shade.
A note on natural dyeing
Each batch emerges differently from the dye pot, as nature intended. We work with deep care to honor the plant's wisdom and keep each piece close to its essence, but the earth speaks in her own voice...and that's the beauty of it. Your kimono will be uniquely yours.
