Wildling Shoes x FOLKDAYS
The fabric for this tote was created in cooperation with FOLKDAYS.
Craftswomanship
The yellow and white cotton fabric was created by hand. From the raw materials to the final dyed and woven fabric, the value chain originates and remains in Kyrgyzstan.
Natural coloration using turmeric
Employing a natural method, turmeric was used to dye the hand-spun cotton yellow. The traditional ikat technique lends each tote its own distinct and vibrant beauty.
Please note:
The cotton has been dyed with turmeric and set with vinegar. This natural processing, without the use of chemicals, causes the fabric to fade more quickly when exposed to sunlight.
Because the spinning, dyeing, and weaving processes are performed by hand, the structure and coloring of each tote is unique.
