Words by vowels Team
Bringing the tones and hues of the natural world into our clothing is nothing new.
Natural pigments from flowers and plants have been used for dyes in clothing since as far back as the Bronze Age. Over time, processes and techniques to develop new ways of extracting color, dyeing ,and finishing garments has allowed for improvements in vibrancy, colorfastness, and uniformity.
Marrying old world techniques with advanced fabrics and materials allows for us to explore the best of both worlds.
