This small cotton bodysuit was transformed through eco-dyeing and rust printing to create a rich golden surface marked with organic circular patterns.
The garment was bundled and wrapped with rusty nails and metal washers during the dye process, allowing the minerals to react with the fabric and leave behind unique imprints across the surface. The result is a warm sun-washed palette of gold, bronze, and earthy tones with soft circular markings that feel almost celestial.
The bodysuit form creates a sleek base layer that pairs beautifully with Cutwork Tees, Winglets, Myth Coats, or worn simply on its own. The eco-dye process ensures that no two pieces can ever be repeated.
Lightweight, soft, and expressive, the piece carries the natural unpredictability.
Each garment is entirely one-of-a-kind.

The transformation of everyday garments through eco-dyeing and natural mineral reactions. Fabrics are wrapped, bundled, and dyed with plant pigments and oxidizing metals that leave unpredictable marks on the cloth.
These processes allow the material itself to participate in the creation of the piece, producing patterns that cannot be planned or repeated.
Each garment carries the imprint of its process and exists as a singular work.
