Made from a carefully chosen 100% New Zealand vintage wool blanket, each poncho wrap is thoughtfully upcycled into a timeless piece designed to be worn and loved for years to come.
Every wrap is individually handmade by me, preserving the beautiful history woven into each blanket while giving it a new purpose. Finished with my signature spiral stitch, each one carries the unmistakable touch of slow, handcrafted workmanship.
Thick, warm and free-sized, it's an effortless layer for every season, a celebration of natural fibres, thoughtful craftsmanship, and clothing made to last a lifetime.
This piece is a very heavy, thick, yet soft wool wrap, already coloured a light blue, this has been leaf printed with Liquid Amber leaves which have created prints in a range of tone from khaki green to black.
Wide and long length.

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.
