Sensual, soft, canopied milieu. ”Picking a flower”
Aphrodite, the love godess archetype of the Greek mythology inspired the atmosphere and the shape. The materials are a heavy velvet, blended silk and viscose with textile buttons. The colour comes from the root of the dyer’s madder, one of our oldest dye plants. This blouse received heart signs, which were taken from the Hungarian folk heritage, the motives from a lead distaff pin, which was embroidered by hand with silk thread.

The process
Dittafelt products are made ethically with care in small studios, designed individually. The pieces are custom-made or hand-made in small batches .
As for the materials, they are premium, luxury textiles or gots-certified textiles which are dyed with plants or printed with plants using the eco print technique for making the pattern. Textiles were naturally dyed or bundle-dyed with a variety of natural dye extracts and raw natural dye materials (like flowers, leaves, wood chips etc.) To produce the various colors and patterns. Then the bundle is steamed or boiled to release the dye found naturally inside the plant, creating a contact print in the shape of the leaf or flower used. For the process i use mostly home grown plants- based on natural resources. In this way, all items are unique. Because it is hand made, the natural imperfections are a part of its beauty.
