Almost two years ago, just before the world closed, my family and I traveled to Rajasthan, India. (Read more about our trip here). While there we visited factories and creative studios and one of my favorite stops was at a new natural dyeing studio. In the back there is a small garden, a tiny little laboratory, and a group of four women who are experimenting with flowers, plants, and seeds to create the most beautifully colored specimens.
It’s been a pleasure to work with them to develop our latest brand new nightstand collection, Like a lion. These quilts and throws are all dyed with flowers from their garden and the colors are giving me all the vibes. I also love how they bring plants and colors together – two of my favorites!
Since fabric dyes can be harmful to the environment, we are delighted and proud to have started the design process with natural dyes and hope to be able to continue offering products like this that can go on forever. slightly lighter on mother earth.
We hope you enjoy cherishing these as much as we enjoyed designing them for you!
Like a Lion is only available at Jungalow. Collection of natural dyes available here.
