MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

As an earthy color, brown complements almost every other color, but it makes a particularly pleasing combination when used with blue!

Heirloom cottons and Natural dyes

Natural dyes can be found in multiple different ecosystems. Most ancient civilizations were familiar with dyeing fabrics by extracting the colors from leaves, branches, roots, and even secretions of insects.

Every region had its own dyeing technique. Although many of these traditions were swept away by industrial advances, some survived and are still being practiced in remote areas of the world.

Indigenous people who work with heirloom cottons, have also been familiar to natural dyes for generations. Native white cotton is usually the cotton that is dyed, but in a few villages, natural dyes are traditionally used over brown cotton.

Our sunkissed pillow - Grana is a tribute to the Indigenous Mixtec tradition: we dye brown coyuchi cotton over with grana cochinilla to create this wonderfully earthy and deep pink-red color. the back of the pillow is made of 100% coyuchi cotton.

“In some Native languages the term for plants translates to “those who take care of us.”
