Antiq - Silk Robe

Adorn and wrap your body in a soft sheath of nature’s living colours,

and feel their herbal properties close to your skin.

Hand dyed by Babs Behan, using local, seasonal dye flowers

and organic natural dyes, including:

Cosmos, chamomile, hollyhock, rose, onion skin, marigold, sandalwood, brazilwood, lac, cochineal, iron mineral water and indigo,

to create beautiful imprints across the steely grey and blue dappled cloth.

The softest organic UK-grown peace silk (kind to moths!), in its natural, unbleached, boiled-off state.

Hand sewn in Devon using a natural cotton thread,

to complete the soil-to-soil material sourcing and composition of this robe.

So that once it’s useful life cycle is complete, it can be returned to the soil as biological nutrients, rather than pollutants.

Colours may appear somewhat differently on screens compared to actual colours.

Please be sure to look after delicate natural dyed silks by hand washing with lukewarm water, ph neutral organic gentle soap and air dry. Never put in a washing machine or tumble dryer or use conventional soaps or detergents which can shift or ruin colours.

We post orders within 4-5 working days via Royal Mail/Parcel force unless otherwise requested.
