SHADES OF BLACK
It is with great emotion that we open the doors today to one of the workshops we have been collaborating with for several years: the dyeing workshop.
In this family-run business, where expertise has been passed down from father to son for four generations, raffia is hand-dyed in an infinite variety of shades and colors.
That day was dedicated to black, for the creation of our signature basket and evening clutch in black raffia.
We spent the afternoon alongside the artisans, watching as our shades of black were dyed. Watching their movements, their precision, and their almost choreographed way of working with the material is deeply moving. Like a silent dance between hands, water, fiber, and color.
The irregularities, depths, and variations of black are what make this artisanal dyeing so beautiful and render every piece in our collections unique.
