Introducing the *very* limited edition Chloe Overbust Mega Crop Hoodie - a × collab that is perfect for this gorgeous early fall weather!

Knitted by the INCREDIBLE Chloe Baierl, this over-bust cropped hooded pullover features a killer balloon sleeve with fitted cuffs and an oversized hood. Made from chunky but super light and fluffy 100% cotton, naturally dyed using our signature bundle dyeing technique.

There are ONLY TWO of these for sale, so grab one quick before they're gone!!

Working with to create garments that utilized bundle dyed prints, we had to figure out a way to scale, as well as a way to duplicate prints - an impossible task if each garment was hand-dyed.
I ended up making several large swatches, which their team then digitized and made into repeating patterns in multiple color stories.
These are two of the prints used on beautiful plissé silk to create a dress and separates. A few pieces are available for pre-order on Altuzarra's website. (If anyone wants to buy me one, feel free 😂).

I'm so excited to share new Waxflower photos by the wonderful

Yesterday's shoot was a really incredible experience - especially for being the first real Waxflower Dye Works shoot! It was so cool to see my pieces being modeled by the amazing and - so gorgeous 😍
I came away with a whole new sense of excitement and drive, and some new ideas that I am really looking forward to working on.
Huge thanks to for hustling and making it work under less than ideal circumstances, from staging to photos and everything in between. And to for some killer makeup. And for the space. And for the flowers.
Stay tuned for photos soon!!

🦄 Every naturally bundle dyed, organic cotton bandana is unique - no two are the same, even if they are made using the same dyestuff! 🦄
The dye plants/insects we use are selected because of their remarkable color AND their ability to stay fast through repeated wear + washing.
Some colors fade more easily than other, such as the small spots of dark teal you can see in lower 2 bandanas. This is because the plants they come from- in this case, Black Knight Scabiosa - give colors that are Anthocyanin based. Anthocyanins are phytopigments in the Flavanoid group, and are responsible for the majority of Purples, Blues, Pinks, and Reds in plant matter (flowers, berries, fruits + veggies, etc). While they are great for use as food colorants, and produce lovely colors on fabric, they are not stable and will fade rapidly. This is why we use anthocyanin-based colors very sparingly as accents among more colorfast/stable dyes like Madder Root, Weld, and other well studied and tested dyestuffs.
