We Are Albert

Botanica Tinctoria is delighted to be included in the new sustainable sourcing site for theatre and film costuming, We Are Albert. We regularly get inquiries from film costumers since our colours are historically accurate, especially for 19th C. European women's clothing, and our materials have made some starring appearances - we can't say where!

Botanica Tinctoria now available in the U.S.A.!

We're delighted to now be working with Organic Cotton Plus in the U.S.A. If you are an American customer, you can order our materials online at: http://organiccottonplus.com/

Eloise Ptito-Echeverria & the Huipil

Botanica Tinctoria recently sponsored the wonderfully talented young designer Eloise Ptito-Echeverria. Eloise, who has a background in Fine Arts and is now in her third year studying Fashion, has been exploring her cultural roots through the traditional "huipil" blouse, worn by women throughout South America. She says, "the huipil is an extraordinary silhouette and textile canvas for me to express myself with and to branch off from creatively." Using our Eri Silk embroidery threads, Eloise has hand stitched lyrics from artist Lido Pimienta's song, "Mueve", a work she finds deeply inspiring, "Only your soul will save you."

We'll be in London!

Once again, Botanica Tinctoria will be showing at the Future Fabrics Expo in London, UK, Sept. 29-30. The Expo is a wonderful place to see all the newest in sustainable materials from around the world. If you live in London, stop by to see our trims and threads in person!
