the
process
Locally sourced eucalyptus, geranium, rose petals, onion skins, pomegranate and iron have been intentionally infused into the silk, creating one of a kind pattern and texture... never to be replicated.
botanical dyeing
Botanical dyeing is an ancient art form that harnesses pigments from nature to colour natural fibres.
It’s the original way in which clothing was coloured before the creation of the synthetic dyes that are predominantly used today.
The beauty of natural colour lies in its subtle imperfections and limitless variations.
Lunarc celebrates this diversity, with the intention of allowing every creation its own unique journey and individual aesthetic, an energy that is becoming obsolete by the introduction of fast fashion and textile industries.
At Lunarc, all our dye materials are locally foraged and collected directly from nature, or rescued from food or floristry waste sources, ensuring not only a low carbon footprint but a beautiful opportunity to capture the essence of our environment.
Raw metals and minerals are used mindfully and sparingly to both explore and deepen colour spectrum, as well as encourage pigment longevity.
quality
over quantity
We fundamentally believe that quality is always paramount over quantity.
We source high spec fabrications to ensure lasting durability and longevity
We create small quantity collections, as not to over produce and risk wasting resources.
Every fibre and fabrication is naturally derived, salvaging pre-loved fabrics and threads where possible.
All creations are sewn with silk or cotton thread to ensure 100% compostability.
