This Kafi Folk piece is crafted from 100% naturally dyed silk in collaboration with BOTANIKA a natural dyeing lab founded by Sara Hajgato in the countryside of Hungary.
Natural and floral dyeing is an eco-friendly craft that uses
plant-based materials—such as flowers, leaves, roots, and even food scraps—to
color fabrics in beautiful, earthy tones. Unlike synthetic dyes, which can be
harmful to both the environment and our skin, natural dyes are biodegradable
and free of toxic chemicals, making them a healthier choice for our planet and
for those who wear the garments.
The process itself is gentle, often resulting in unique,
one-of-a-kind shades that vary depending on the plant materials used, the
fabric, and even the water. These natural hues tend to age gracefully, developing a character and depth over time, making each piece not just a
garment, but a work of art that connects us to nature.
