5-PANEL CAP | MAPLE & RUST

FABRIC:

Made from our first batch of eco-printed recycled cotton sheets. Each piece is printed with colorful maple leaves gathered from our neighborhood, resulting in unique, photo-like patterns and natural shades. Wrapped around rusty iron pipes to create red rust details and enhance the dying qualities of the tannin pigments.

Eco-printing is a botanical dyeing technique that transfers the natural colors and shapes of plants directly onto plant-based fabrics — creating one-of-a-kind organic patterns.

The process begins with the selection of untreated, recycled cotton fabrics, which are soaked in a natural mordant to help absorb and bind color. The washed material is then wrapped with certain leaves, flowers, and other natural elements. For deeper tones or special effects, the fabric is sometimes pre-treated with an iron, black tea or other  solutions before wrapping.

The wrapped bundles are then steamed in hot water for about two hours, allowing the pigments to fully develop and transfer onto the fibers. Afterward, each fabric is carefully washed, dried, and finished — ready to be transformed into truly unique handmade pieces.

Eco-printing is a technique that uses the natural colours and shapes of plants and elements to print on plant-based fabrics and create the most exciting and beautiful unique patterns.

The process of ECO PRINTING starts with the selection of untreated plant-based textiles. Here we use almost only old recycled cotton-based materials.
The raw textiles must then be left in a special mordant for at least one day so that they can absorb and bind the colours. After that we wash the material and wrap the fabric panels with leaves, flowers and other colourful materials. For even stronger colours or special effects, we sometimes soak the fabrics in an iron solution before wrapping.
The wrapped fabric bundles are then placed in large pots and steamed with hot water for another 2 hours.
After steaming, the material is printed and must now be carefully washed and dried before we can work with the material and produce absolutely unique pieces of all kinds.

In the shop, you can find two types of products:

• Unique & Limited pieces – items that are in stock and ready to ship.

• Made-to-order items (classics) – products are in stock or made after your order is placed.

Please note that although some classic items are available immediately, many are made individually for each customer. Production time for items from the classic collection is typically 2–4 business days, depending on order volume.

I ask for your understanding and consideration when placing an order.

Please avoid ordering multiple items with the intention of keeping only one.

This practice leads to unnecessary production and contradicts our commitment to sustainability.

I value responsible consumption and aim to reduce waste by only producing what is needed.

Thank you for supporting conscious, small-scale production.
