What is eco-printed clothing?

Eco-printed clothing carries a pattern made by real leaves and flowers. The plants are laid on natural fabric, bundled and steamed so their pigments transfer onto the cloth, without printing plates. We call our technique Nirmalya Print.

Is every eco-printed piece different?

Yes. The way the leaves sit, how tightly the bundle is tied and how the steam moves through it all change the print, so no two pieces are identical.

Which plants are used to make the prints?

We use foraged leaves, eucalyptus, rose leaves and marigold flowers, including flowers rescued from temple offerings, depending on the piece.

Botanical prints are living colours and can soften over time with light and washing. This is normal for a plant-based print. Drying in shade and using a pH-neutral detergent helps the colour last.

How do I care for eco-printed clothing?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a pH-neutral detergent, dry in the shade away from direct sun and iron on the reverse side. Tailored pieces such as blazers should be dry cleaned. Always check the care label.
