I have a passion for Natural Dyeing. It’s such a beautiful practice - both asetethically and holistically. The compounds in leaves, seeds, bark, flowers, insects and other natural dye creating materials are full of anti-oxidents and anti-microbrobial materials. When it comes to food waste - including Avocado pits and skins and pomegranate skins - sometimes the parts of the food we throw away include even more of these healthy compounds than the part we eat!
So I was SUPER excited with Califia Farms reached out and asked me to lead a coffee dye activity for baristas and coffee fans during LA Coffee Fest.
Chances are if you've stopped into our shop before and mentioned this lifecycle (it currently lives printed on a curtain towards the back of the shop) you've heard all of the information below. But for all of you who don't get the pleasure of stopping in I've written it all out below for you. I hope it gives you an idea of what goes into making your clothes and inspires your future buying choices!
