The senses of Nature that embrace us
Soft Earth
Clothing and Art
“ There were days when life felt as heavy as the weight of the clothes I owned, which I easily took and easily threw away.
#. From very everyday life
_ The weight of clothes
Just a few simple clothes that are good to wear every day and even better for a long time
“Clothes are everywhere overflowing, but it was difficult to find simple and natural clothes…. So I started making it myself.
From old clothes we have…creatively piecing together small pieces and used clothes
discovering sustainable durable fabric with natural dye
Closer to nature
Simply it is the most comfortable and beautiful
The idea was embodied
from contact with soft soil
Soft soil from deep mountain
This cotton clothes was dyed with just a handful of soil.
Soil dyeing is the most natural and simple. However when physical work and care are added, the art of the Earth produces amazing results.

I grew up in Korea and live in India. I apply the Korean soil dyeing process with the soil from the mountains in Tiruvannamalai where I live.
It is natural that soil dyeing is beneficial to our body. Because we are from the earth and creatures made of nature.
Soil dye masters say that just as a mud house is beneficial to the body, earthen clothes contain various benefits such as decomposition, absorption, self-cleaning, and antibacterial using the beneficial elements of the soil.

Soil dye clothes are so comfortable that they can also be used as bedding. The function of soil clothing is to keep you comfortable in the summer and warm in the winter. The various colors created by Earth are food for the eyes and mind.
