SPIRIT OF INDIGO - IN THE CARDAMOM HILLS
In the midst of large tea plantations in the Cardamom Hills, Munnar, Kerala, India, Ratna Krishna, supported by the Srishti Trust TATA Global Beverages Limited, created Aranya Natural in 1994.
🌿
The idea grew out of a need to educate and train the differently abled children of Munnar’s tea plantation workers. Graduates of these programs had few opportunities for employment in the area, however, and would need to migrate to the plains to find work. After some research, it was found that no organization in India had immersed itself in natural dyeing in an environmentally friendly way. It was decided to build a model for eco-friendly, high-quality and well-paid work in naturally dyed textiles.
🌿💙
Today, one can find a large, airy facility is surrounded by greenhouses and large fields of flowers and tea. The plants used for natural dyeing are cultivated and picked right on site.
When it comes to the art of natural dyeing, the work of Ratna and Aranya has become a focal point not only in India but for the world. Textile artists, fashion icons and chemists such as Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada, Axel Becker, Dominique Cardon, Michel Garcia, buaisou, Linda Labelle make regular pilgrimages here for workshops and training in shibori, indigo, batik, tie-dye, and block or mordant printing.

We are honored and happy by working with @aranya.natural and @ratnakrishnakumar

MUSTANG, NEPAL SEPTEMBER 2022
Mustang—that legendary region in northern Nepal, long closed to visitors. The trip we took in September four years ago opened our eyes and minds in ways that have stayed with us ever since.
We visited yak herds and shepherds, the pashmina settlements, and the main town of Lo Manthang at an altitude of 4,000 meters... we experienced village life—weaving, cooking, and moving the animals every morning and evening.

Our heart is with the people of Nepal.❤️

Thanks for all help

FROM NATURE, BY HAND - HIMALAYA- STOCKHOLM
People, genuine craftsmanship and original Himalayan, Indian materials.
Everything created by hand by local artisans in wild silk, yak wool, sheep wool, pashmina, linen and organic cotton.
Dyed with natural indigo, eucalyptus, walnuts, tea, flowers, leaves, bark, herbs and other natural extracts.
Nature’s own elements spun, weaved and dyed by hand gives each of our products a very special and unique feeling. This is of course more time consuming and extensive than fast fashion industry processes, but we want to contribute to a new environmental mindset where craftsmanship can take its time.
Together with committed cooperatives and small manufacturers, we think long-term, pay homage to the original craft, and work ethically for the environment and the people.
We make a difference.
SLOW FASHION is the future!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
What a wonderful day in the sign of color. Ulrika showed how to dye with vegetables, plants and minerals and create exciting clouds of colors.

A fascinating process where the textile is wrapped and steamed. Imagine that dyeing until chemistry came into the car in the 1880s was done this way...

❤️🌸🌿Thank you dear Ulrika for your tour today. We now have the store - St Paulsg 20, Stockholm- full of Ulrika’s vintage silk garments completely dyed naturally.

NEW WORK OUT NOW - OCEAN WINDS
- we are so happy!
The constant movement of the wind and the swirling energy of the ocean have inspired us for the new linen collection.

Nature’s elements such as sun, wind, sea, earth gave colors such as Raw sand, Coffee brown, Ocean Turquoise and Tea rose and models such as short kimono jackets, kaftans, straight pants, unisex shirts as well as more dresses, a wide belt and hats.

All well-tailored, spacious and created in fine linen from Europe

FROM OUR FRIENDS IN HIMACHAL PRADESH HANDWOVEN SILK & MERINO WOOL SHAWL
This shawl is mixed silk with merino wool and hand-woven according to tradition in Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalayas. Mixing silk and merino wool makes this shawl light and warm at the same time.

The wools are purchased directly from the shepherds in the mountain districts Kullu and Kanga. All carding, spinning and weaving are done on traditional wooden looms called KHADDI. The weaving technique is unique and is passed down from generation to generation. The weavers belong to their own little clan.

Dyeing is done with environmentally adapted modern pigments which fix to the fibres and retain their luminosity for a long time.
A perfect shawl to wear year-round.
Himachal Pradesh, India. 
Size: 60 x 200 cm Hem: 2 cm fringe
Origins: The garment is hand-spun, hand-woven and dyed in Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalayas under the leadership of our friends..
Production Time: 55 days (sheep and goat wool - 50 days; hand spinning - 2 days; natural dyeing - 1 day; weaving, finishing, fringe cutting, labelling - 2 days)
