range. We guarantee our fabrics are eco-friendly and perfectly safe for everyone - The natural dyes come from our local vegetables, trees, plants, wild flowers and soil (actually mud) and are very carefully mixed with lemon grass, eucalyptus, tamarind fruits and ants to create a colour-fast yarn that will be used to produce beautiful organic silk fabrics
