桂花 GUIHUA

PHILOSOPHY

We believe in the power of designers, artists, creators to change the world. For this reason, we propose for sale the fabrics that we have carefully curated during our investigative journeys in the mountains of Guizhou. Our fabrics are of an exceptional quality and we would be delighted if they could inspire other humans around the world for their own creations.

This 桂花 GUIHUA pattern, meaning osmanthus flower pattern, requires exceptional dexterity. Only a few Dong women still know the weaving ritual to create this fascinating design.

COMPOSITION

100% indigenous organic cotton

Hand-spinning cotton yarns & handwoven cotton on traditional looms

DYEING

All our fabrics are naturally dyed with indigo leaves in the mountains of Guizhou. At DEYI 德逸, we only use natural dyes and no chemicals, because we are committed to design while respecting Nature. Thus, our fabrics can present some differences of tone in their surface that depends on local meteorological conditions & on the way in which each artisan has worked the material.

Each fabric is unique: they are a testimony of several days of handmade work. Small imperfections in the weave or dyeing cannot be considered as defects. They are inherent to the artisanal character of our pieces. Imperfections means humans behind your textile.

TRACEABILITY & SUSTAINABILITY

All our cotton fabrics are made with care and love by our female artisans from the Dong indigenous community, according ancestral gesture. They work in small remote villages in the province of Guizhou, in Rongjiang County. We invite you to read the moving stories of our artisans in our website.
