Eco-Print Silk Scarf #2
Our eco-print silk scarves are a labour of care and community, connecting Naughty Broady to other programs at Banksia Gardens. We start by collecting onion skins from our food pantry program and coffee grounds from our social enterprise cafe, Common Bean Cafe. Then, we gather eucalyptus leaves and sticks from the local area, particularly around the housing estate. These materials are bundled around copper piping and sticks before being immersed in the boiling vats of onion skins and other natural dyes. After a few days of sitting, the scarves emerge, infused with the natural pigments and patterns from the plants. It's a process that allows each silk scarf to be unique - no two are ever the same.
Care Instructions
Cold hand wash. Hang in shade.
