natural jade

Guatemala's Luisa Villavicencio designs an elegant long sleeve sweater that is knitted with the cotton harvested at her family's farm. Featuring ivory, brown and jade horizontal stripes, the colors are natural as Villavicencio rescues the harvesting of different cotton seeds used by the Maya. She says, "I designed this sweater considering the desires of today's women to dress in casual elegance."

Java’s nature blooms in the middle of a batik-embellished scarf by Yuni Kristina. Jade, crimson, and redwood hues spread their elegant tones around this silk garment, exquisitely made with a folk art-inspired pattern and fringes as lightweight as the scarf’s drape. To complete the illusion, a cotton blend gift box arrives with the design.

Working with hand carded and spun wool that has been tinted with natural dyes, Mario Chavez creates this pretty cushion cover. The handwoven cover features a subtle diamond patterned stripe of concrete grey against a body of sea green. One side is fringed to conceal a zipper for the easy insertion of a cushion.
