garments are hand-dyed.
and cured in heated machines for hours.
The uneven shading
and slight color pigmentation
that does occur in
some garments and fabrics
Are
part of the look.
IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL,
I have been doing it for many many years my process is relatively perfected.
but I do not
ever want to lose the hand wash feel
it takes a lot of work and effort
that is the aging or vintage process
TEXTURES:
My fabrics are not flat
and one dimensional as traditional fabrics used in manufacturing and mass production
it is handcrafted.
each piece of fabric has its own texture and look
EVEN AFTER 25 YEAR
natural fabrics are always still slightly unpredictable.
