Only non-toxic metal salts and natural pigments are used in my dyeing process, so the end product is not only kinder to the environment compared to conventional dyeing methods, but also safer and gentler on your skin. Each leaf and petal I use is also sourced conscientiously - I grow what I can in my are either grown in my home garden, gather mindfully in Sydney suburbs or collect kitchen and floral waste from local businesses.
Each item is handmade and one of a kind, so your socks will be entirely unique and may different from the ones pictured. Variations in colour and details are all part of what makes your item special and should be embraced.
