Description

COLOR STORY: Eco-Print No. 135 begins in the dye pot, where we hand-dye sheer silk in chlorophyllin, a living extract drawn from dark leafy greens. It's the foundation for a watercolor of botanical hues, soft and abstract.

Then comes the magic. We scatter hollyhock, marigold, and dahlia across the silk before rolling and bundling. As the fabric steams, the flowers release their pigments, seeping into the fibers and leaving lasting imprints. No two pieces are ever alike.

Dyed on our sheer silk, No. 135 drapes like a whisper. Its translucent quality adds a layer of softness and depth, catching the light and moving with the moment.

UNDERTONE: Floral

EMOTION: Spirited

TEXTURE: Sheer

Original Eco-Print Silk Ribbon

Original Eco-Print Silk Ribbons:  Each silk ribbon is an original work of art, hand-dyed by Shellie in her Hudson Valley studio. Her process begins with a quiet walk through the land she calls home—gardens alive with blooms and wooded paths humming with the rhythm of the seasons. Here, she gathers her palette: fresh flowers bursting with vibrance and petals she carefully collects and dries in her studio—each one a treasure, carrying its own unique color and marking from the earth.

The silk is carefully steeped and prepared, awaiting its transformation. Petal by petal, Shellie arranges her findings, each placement as intentional as a brushstroke. With some areas tightly bound and others left loose, the silk is rolled into bundles and gently steamed, coaxing the natural pigments to seep and bloom across the fabric. The result is a kaleidoscope of abstract markings and hues, blending as effortlessly as the colors of a sunset or the shifting tones of a forest floor.

No two ribbons are alike—each one a singular expression of the land, the season, and the hands that shaped it. A piece of nature, artfully captured in silk.

Applications

Original eco-print silk ribbons are a luxurious choice for high-end, artistic applications. Most popularly, they are used as a personal expression on bridal bouquets, adding a one-of-a-kind, nature-inspired touch to a bride’s special day. In the world of fashion, these ribbons elevate custom couture designs, serving as a sustainable fashion statement in trims for dresses, jackets, and other bespoke creations. Bespoke milliners also adore these ribbons, incorporating them into hat bands and bows to craft truly unique headwear. Beyond wearable art, our original eco-print silk ribbons have found their place framed on walls, showcasing the allure of their abstract patterns and natural hues. Each ribbon is a testament to craftsmanship and creativity, offering endless possibilities for those who value art and nature.

Care

Our silk ribbons are made to last, so you can keep them as keepsakes or reuse them for years to come. With a little care, they hold their natural color and soft drape through every use.

Classic, Satin, Sheer & Taffeta Silk Ribbons

These ribbons can be hand-washed at home when needed.

  • Hand-wash: Gently wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral natural laundry soap. Machine washing contributes to the ribbon fraying on the edges.
  • Protect the color: Plant dyes are living colors. Harsh cleaning chemicals and sudden pH changes can shift their tone, so stick to gentle, neutral soap.
  • Remove water carefully: Don't wring or twist. Press out excess water with a clean towel.
  • Dry flat or hang: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Keep ribbons out of prolonged sunlight to preserve their natural hues.
  • Press smooth: Use a medium-heat iron or steamer for a smooth finish.

To refresh ribbons and remove creases: Lightly spritz with water, then steam or iron on medium heat once nearly dry.

Pro tip: A hair flat iron works well for quickly smoothing ribbons and creating a flawless, wrinkle-free finish.

Ethereal, Gossamer, Organza Silk Ribbons

These ribbons are delicate and need extra care.

  • Dry clean only: Dry cleaning preserves their fine, airy weave.
  • Hand washing: Hand-washing is possible, but it can alter the delicate structure of these hand-loomed ribbons.

Slightly more subdued than I thought, but it still goes perfectly with pinks in place of a necklace chain.
