The Avatar Collection
In Eastern philosophy, an Avatar is an incarnation that teaches how to evolve virtues of the past into the present. The Pure Upcycled Silk Avatar Collection is made from vintage pure silk saris, chosen and worn by women in the past to celebrate their lives. If you look very closely, you will see that the silks in this collection show some of the character of their previous incarnations through the appliqués that have been lovingly applied to bring new life to thefabric. This piece is a reminder that we are part of a collective journey to which we all add a little something.
You may find some appliqués and/or very minor thread pulls on pieces in this collection.
The Wabi Sabi Collection
Wabi sabi pieces have flaws that we have tried to highlight in the images. We feel these pieces are still beautiful to wear and in most cases, you are the only one who will know that the piece has "flaws". Please look closely at the pictures and the video in the product images to learn about the flaws in the particular piece in which you are interested.

Place a piece of white cotton fabric on the ironing board (in case the glue from the patch seeps through the fabric onto your ironing board.).
Place the silk fabric with the area to be patched in a single layer on the white cotton.
Place the patch over the fabric flaw on the silk fabric.
Cover the silk fabric and the patch with a presscloth - a thin layer of cotton fabric.
Press the patch on firmly through the presscloth with the iron temperature set to high. Repeat as necessary.
