1 of 1 collection made together with illustrator Naomi Iwakawa made out of 10 upcycled shirts which we redyed, restitched, painted and embroidered.

This Ralph Lauren shirt was carefully sourced on quality and material, all 100% cotton. Next the shirt is half redyed with the natural dye of South American logwood. Going back to my roots and staying on a Dutch theme, we painted Dutch tulips and Dutch song lyrics. 

Size: Mens XL (measurements)

Material: 100% Cotton

Natural dye: Logwood

For this project, we purposely only used natural materials, plant dyes, and stitch everything by hand. Intentionally omitting sewing machines and using natural dyes for everything even down to the threads and tags.

Product Care

The charm of natural dyes lies in it magnificent colors, unevenness and slowly changing overtime. In contrast to chemical dyes, these natural dyed items require a little more attention and love when washing and handling these items. To keep your colors as bright as possible, please pay attention to the following washing instructions.

-How to wash-

It is recommended to launder with ph neutral detergent, which is neither acidic nor alkaline. The natural dyes I use are quite sensitive to unbalanced acidic and alkaline ph levels. Using unbalanced PH detergent could fade or shift the colors of your product.

Both hand wash and the washing machine are fine to use.

Hand wash:

Dissolve a small amount of neutral detergent in lukewarm water and gently press and wash. Keep in water for 15 minutes and done!

Washing-machine

A normal spin with ph neutral detergent is completely fine (In case of vulnerable fabrics, please use hand wash).

After laundering, immediately reshape and flatten the garment, then dry in the shade (natural dyes are vulnerable to the sun and ultraviolet rays, there please dry your garment inside or in the shade).

Please launder separately from white or light-colored items as natural colors may bleed.
