COLLECTION
The Sumac Collection is an example of intricate craftsmanship. It begins with pristine white fabric, which is first transformed through a metal-dyeing process. This initial stage, where fabric is placed in contact with metal, can take several days as the metal leaves its subtle yet striking impression on the fabric's surface.
The fabric then undergoes eco-printing, a technique that uses real leaves and other organic materials. These natural elements are carefully arranged on the fabric, and the dye is applied to enhance the impression. The fabric is then tightly rolled and steamed for hours, allowing the organic material to leave a lasting imprint on the fibers.
This sophisticated, one-of-a-kind print has been reproduced to form the foundation of the Sumac Collection. Through a meticulous process, Louise has created a design that captures the raw beauty of nature, allowing others to bring a touch of organic elegance into their homes.
