The Living Cloth Collection
The Origin Blouse is made from 100% raw silk, a natural fibre with ancient roots, once traded through the lands of Serica, long known for silk production. Chosen for its softness, strength, and fluid drape, this silk feels quietly lush against the skin, with a subtle texture that softens and relaxes with wear.
The fabric falls gently along the body, never clinging, moving with ease and catching light as you do. Lightweight yet grounding, it offers breathability and comfort throughout the day.
Designed with two ties at the front, the silhouette is versatile and understated. It can be worn loosely for an easy, relaxed feel or gently drawn in for a touch of shape. An evolution of our Cocoa Blouse, The Origin Blouse features a slightly more refined cut while maintaining the same wearability and ease.
Each piece is hand dyed by me, using plant-based dyes, allowing color to infuse the silk slowly and organically. These are living colors, nuanced, layered, and shaped by the plants themselves, as well as by sun, time, and process. Subtle variations are part of the making and a reflection of the materials and methods used.
The Origin Blouse is rooted in material honesty: natural silk, plant-derived color, and thoughtful design, made to be worn often and to age beautifully.
Plant Dye Notes
Avocado Pits & Skins
This version of The Origin Blouse is dyed using avocado pits and skins, gathered slowly and simmered over time to release their natural pigment. The dye bath is allowed to develop gradually, giving the color space to emerge fully before the silk is introduced.
Avocado produces soft, sun-warmed tones with subtle blush and clay undertones; hues that feel gentle, luminous, and deeply wearable. As the raw silk absorbs the dye, the fabric takes on a warmth and fluidity that highlights its natural drape and movement.
There is something quietly beautiful about this process: color drawn from what would otherwise be discarded, transformed through time and care into something lasting. Each blouse carries natural variation, shaped by the plant material, temperature, and the slow rhythm of the dye bath.
The result is a garment that feels warm and alive; grounded in process, softened by wear, and unique in its expression of living color.
Natural silk. Living color. Made slowly.
