"Iris" Patchwork Aromatic Eye Pillow – Naturally Dyed Silk & Linen
Part of our zero-waste collection, this pillow is crafted by combining small remnants of naturally dyed fabrics that would otherwise go unused. Each pillow becomes a unique patchwork composition of colours created through different natural dye processes.
The fabrics include un-dyed silk from Soufli, Greece and linen, all naturally dyed in our Athens studio using botanical dyes:
• Purple silk naturally dyed with logwood bark
• Blue-grey silk naturally dyed with cutch and over-dyed with indigo
• Terracotta silk naturally dyed with madder roots
• Patterned silk bundle dyed with onion skins and hibiscus flowers
• Linen naturally dyed with acacia bark
The pillow is filled with rose petals and mustard seeds. Rose petals are traditionally used to soothe and refresh the skin, while mustard seeds provide gentle weight and are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to stimulate circulation.
Designed for meditation, relaxation, or moments of rest, the pillow can be placed over the eyes or held during calming rituals.
Approximate size: 9cm x 22cm

Natural Dyeing
Botanical dyeing is a slow process, that can be unpredictable and there are often pleasant colour surprises. It takes several hours to extract the natural pigment from plants, sometimes even days!
