Eco-Printing is the technique in which flowers, leaves, berries, and stems transfer their imprints onto fabric by the process of steaming. Here we have the most beautiful pieces that have been designed for us using Cosmos flowers, Eupatorium leaves and Silver Oak leaves, all found in the verdant hills and gardens of Munnar in Kerala where they are created.

For variety, we have had some sprinkles of natural dyes added to two of the scarves. Roots from Madder, a plant belonging to the coffee family, add the dusting of red to the Cosmos scarf, and Lac, a resinous substance secreted by the Lac beetle, adding plummy tones to the Eupatorium scarves.

At 28grams this is the finest of Mulberry silk, so soft and fluid you’ll hardly know you are wearing it. The kaftans (40gram silk) are the most sensual of pieces, particularly the golden Silver Oak print, which drapes and flows exquisitely.

These amazing pieces are created by specially-abled people who have been trained by world-renowned scholars in the fields of indigo dye and resist dye techniques. Ethical and sustainable methods are used in the creation of these textiles. Due to the the nature of the process in creating these pieces, no two will ever be identical.

Fabric: 100% mulberry silk
Scarf dimensions: 55 x 180 cms. Robes are free size.
