Naturally dyed mantles for burial and ceremony

A mantle is a structured fabric covering placed over an already-shrouded body — a second layer, lovingly hand-dyed and personalized, adding mystery, dignity, and beauty to the ritual of burial.

Natural fabrics are prepared and dyed by hand using ancient heritage techniques — colored entirely by roots, plants, and food scraps. Each piece is shaped by nature, and unrepeatable.

Mantles decorated with the itajime shibori technique, dyed with various combinations of madder root, logwood, cochineal, onion skin, avocado and walnut hull, placed over a mannequin.
