Harnessing nature’s beauty

My passions for regenerative decorating and design, recycling and using nature’s bounty all came together in my work when I fell in love with screen printing and dyeing whilst studying textile design at university.

Combining my environmental activism with my love of charity shop hunting and the great outdoors, I make naturally stunning textiles that don’t cost the earth.

As a botanical dye specialist, I work with everything from foraged flowers and foliage to food waste, spices and even rusted metal to create unique, beautiful textiles that are natural one-offs.

From workshops to weddings, photoshoots and homeware to updating a beloved one off, I believe in harnessing the beauty of nature and making the most of what we already have.

Regenerative design

Working within a closed loop system means that everything I make and do is recycled and recyclable.

I take textiles destined for the dump and transform them into beautiful new pieces. Each one of my textile pieces and regenerated garments is part of the fashion revolution which demands a fairer, safer and more transparent industry.

All my dyes are handmade from nature’s bounty and my pieces come wrapped in recycled paper and eco tape.

Why natural dye?

When it comes to colour, natural dyes are the original gangsters of the textile world.

We were using natural dye for centuries before the chemical dye revolution took place. Compared to the harm and ethical questionability of toxic chemicals, we know this method is sustainable practically and environmentally.

All my dyes are created with hand foraged, natural ingredients like chrysanthemums, avocado stones, raw pigments, spices, foliage and even rusted metal.

Better for you, better for the planet.
