Item #60 - GABY Tie & Dye Cotton Cardigan - Brown

Using what nature provides us with to give a second life to a garment is one of the creative options that botanical dyeing can provide. It is in this approach of upcycling that we collaborate with our friends from Taller Silvestre who dye our organic cotton Gaby cardigans individually and exclusively for us in Madrid in their workshop. Discover the exclusive yellow dye from dried flowers of tagetes. Fairly-sourced and GOTS certified organic cotton.

How do I clean my new naturally dyed items?

Use a gentle or pH-neutral detergent. Dry away from direct sunlight.

Is the color permanent?

Natural dyes are not  chemical colors. All items are pre-treated to improve the lifespan of these magical hues mordanted with non-toxic ingredients to fix plant pigments, colours transform and  fade slightly overtime. Keep your naturally dyed item out of direct and long sunlight exposure, as it bleaches natural hues.

The beauty of natural dyed items is that they are ever changing. Fibers dyed with botanicals have captured a living hue. Imperfections and variations are part of the process and makes these items one-of-a-kind. We look a naturally dyed items as a way to reconnect to nature, practice sustainability, and a practice of impermanence too.

Investing in a sustainable knitwear item from L'Envers provides significant long-term value compared to fast-fashion alternatives. While fast-fashion pieces may be cheaper initially, they often require frequent replacements due to poor quality. L'Envers items, crafted from high-quality, eco-friendly materials like mulesing-free wool and organic cotton, are designed to last for years, thus reducing their cost per wear and their environmental impact.

At L'Envers, we focus on sustainable practices by knitting on demand in a family-run atelier in Spain, ensuring fair wages and avoiding overproduction. Our durable items offer more wears over time than their fast-fashion alternatives. Additionally, the way you care for your clothes plays a big role in their longevity. You can find extensive advice on garment care on our website. While very durable, our pieces are not eternal and their natural materials will eventually show signs of time. We believe this adds a je-ne-sais-quoi and is something to celebrate. Eventually, at the end of their lifespan, L'Envers pieces can be repurposed or recycled, leaving no lasting pollution. This makes our timeless knitwear a cost-efficient and eco-friendly investment. Join us in the slow fashion revolution.
