To wear this piece is to wear the wild. It’s a garment that speaks of forest paths, sun-warmed leaves, and the quiet intelligence of the earth. Made from natural fibers and hand dyed with foraged plants, it invites you to feel not only beautifully adorned, but deeply connected to the living world.
This high quality brand-new pair of leggings is crafted from a sumptuous merino wool, completely free from synthetic fibers. It’s lovingly naturally dyed using a sustainable, plant-based process that honors the rhythm of nature and the wisdom of traditional textile arts.
The surface of the fabric is eco-printed with wild-foraged eucalyptus leaves, leaving behind soft, organic impressions in earthy tones. These natural patterns are created through direct contact with the plants, showcasing the quiet beauty of the land and the intimate relationship between wild botanicals and natural cloth.
On a subtle level, wool is said to carry a high frequency and a protective, insulating energy. Many traditional cultures regard wool as a living fiber, one that harmonizes with the body’s natural field. Wearing it close to the skin is believed to support vitality, enhance groundedness, and even shield against negative influences.

The garment will take on a life of it’s own as it naturally ages, just like us, adding to it’s own uniqueness and individuality (just like you).
Created from natural fibres, at the end of it’s life this garment can be added to your compost heap to naturally decompose & feed the soil (very unlike synthetic clothing filled with chemicals).
Botanical Printing / Natural dyeing / Ecoprinting is a slow process where fabric is dyed and printed using the natural tannins, color & prints of botanicals (plants, leaves, roots, bark, flowers, lichens etc). Much like our ancestors did for generations, clothing can be colored using nature’s abundance without the use of synthetic, toxic & dangerous chemicals. The colors are truely natural (found in my garden or foraged around my neighborhood, not out of packets), depicting the colors of my local surroundings & the ever changing seasons.
