Silk Button Down

Long sleeve, button down silk shirt sourced from one of my favorite second hand shops. Perfect for layering over dresses or a tank and shorts. Ecoprinted with oak leaves.

 

Oak trees are native to Europe and are one of the most well-established varieties of trees in Portugal. The large trees play an important role in natural forestation since they thrive in temperate climates. The whole tree is high in tannins, making it a wonderful source of dye stuff.  Acorns produce a beautiful brown dye and the leaves create reliable prints. 

 

Any inconsistencies or variations in color are part of the natural, hand-dyed process.
