Eco Printing is an environmental-friendly technique without using any chemicals. It uses various types of leaves and presses them on the fabric. This natural process, we will get a variety of unique fabric products. Because nature is always changing and has seasons, each leaf will have a distinct unique colour of its own, given each value and beauty of nature. Natural colour print fabric by nature process makes it easy to maintain and preserve energy and cost in fabric caring.
Natural colour fabrics are symbols of reserving the balance of nature and also creating fashion art that offers both value and price. The product of printed fabrics with natural colours is not using chemicals. Instead, we use natural substances that do not affect the environment, such as ash, salt, alum, leaves, bark, roots, colours of leaves, and flowers to press on the fabric, to create natural beauty and unique fabric.
Production process of natural colour printed fabrics is basically about substances that are used as a medium for capturing the colour and colour-changing agents to help in making the leaf colour last longer, as well as durability with the acid and alkali that affect the natural colours printed on the fabric. Each fabric is compatible with different natural colours even if the colour is from the same leaf species.
The secrets within the leaves and flowers that were collected. The green of the leaves as seen by the eye. When brought to trial and study through the research process, we found that each leaf hides a lot of nutrients. For example, in the bright green mahogany in the leaf, when we use the press printing process, the colour will turn out as a beautiful dark brown.
The fabric comes from hand-woven cotton technique by local housewives that come together and press the fresh flowers, leaf pattern from various type of leaves, and the way they lay out the leaves and flowers, all of these on the fabric according to their imagination to create the fabric pattern.
When we design the pattern on the fabric, it will maintain the uniqueness of those leaves and flowers. Most of the leaves we see with the naked eye are mostly green but when go through the natural colour print process, the wonders of nature will give us beautiful natural colour marks on that fabric. The creator of each piece of fabric will feel connected to nature. This help raise awareness of nature conservation, help us to love the clothes that we used, cherish, care, and most importantly, brings happiness, concentration, and inner peace that arises from natural processes to the maker and the wearer. This is made in style to evoke a high fashion sense. It increases the value of the fabric and designer's work which can be used to generate sustainable income in the future.
To reiterate my point, Our brand sees the importance of ethical fashion.
The natural press print technique of leaves and flowers requires high concentration. This activity has a positive effect on mental therapy and meditation.
Our work is the work of people with disabilities created from the technique used in the therapy called "Art therapy in special children" that uses appropriate artistic activities to help in the treatment and improve rehabilitation, to reduce emotional and behavioral problems, as well as strengthen potential in various fields. And also able to generate sustainable income. This is the value of ethical fashion and sustainable fashion that we try to uphold.
