This Ecoprinted Silk Scard is a piece of art!!!
It is handpainted using ancient artisanal technique known as eco-printing - all done by hand, no machines. Living dye plants in Bali are pressed onto the luxurious silk, bundled, and then heated to transfer its colors and patterns. We enjoy this delicate process as we learn to surrender to the unpredictable but always groundbreaking results.
For dyeing this scarf we used tegeran wood mixed with iron water. The plants for the eco print are the following: 🍃Mimba leaf. 🌿Cotton leaf. 🍁Castor leaf. 🍂Lanang leaf. 🌱Tabebuia leaf.
All the scarves in this color, have the same kind of pattern since we used the same type of leaf, but of course they are all a bit different..!
All scarves come in a pouch made of the same ecoprinted fabric. It's really pretty and ideal for a gift.
Dimensions: 100x100cm, 39.5x39.5in
Care: Hand wash silk scarves in cool water with a gentle detergent. Air dry the scarf away from direct sunlight, but don't leave it out for too long or the colors may fade. You can also press the scarf between two towels to dry. Iron the scarf on low heat or the silk setting once it's dry, and place a cloth between the iron and the silk. Avoid spraying or wetting the silk while ironing, as this can cause water stains. If you're storing the scarf for a long time, put it in a breathable fabric bag instead of plastic to prevent moisture.
