Deep, mysterious, and grounded in the West Australian landscape, this dress is a tribute to the resilience of the Australian bush. The striking, moody tones are achieved through a slow-extraction process using the bark and kino (resin) of the Marri tree (Corymbia calophylla).

 

The Power of Marri Bark

Beyond its evocative charcoal-grey hue, the Marri tree has been used for generations for its potent medicinal and protective qualities. By infusing the fabric with its natural essence, we create a garment that works in harmony with your body.

 

  • Inherent Antibacterial Protection: Marri is exceptionally high in bio-active tannins. These natural compounds provide a powerful antibacterial and antiseptic shield, keeping the fabric pristine and gentle on sensitive skin.

  • Pure & Bio-Safe: We strictly reject synthetic fixatives. This means zero toxic bioaccumulation—no harmful chemicals absorbed by your skin and no micro-pollutants left in our ecosystem.

  • Medicinal Color: The dye process preserves the plant’s antioxidants, offering a "wearable wellness" experience that synthetic fast-fashion simply cannot replicate.

 

Design & Silhouette

  • Sculpted High Neck: A sophisticated halter design that balances the bold, open-back aesthetic.

  • Artisanal T-Back: The hand-knotted spine detail adds a raw, organic texture that highlights the craftsmanship of the piece.

  • Adjustable Drape: The low-back drawstring allows for an adaptable fit, transitioning from a structured look to a relaxed, ethereal flow.

  • Earth-Bound Length: A full maxi skirt that catches the wind, providing a statuesque silhouette for any occasion.

 

Material : Cupro Linen 

 

Care for Your Living Garment

This dress is dyed with raw botanical matter and will evolve beautifully with you. To preserve the Marri's deep tones and antibacterial properties:

  • Hand wash sparingly in cool water using a gentle, pH-neutral, plant-based soap.
  • Dry in the shade to prevent sun-bleaching.
  • Avoid contact with acidic substances (like vinegar or lemon juice), which can cause the botanical colors to naturally shift.

 

Embrace the change: over years of wear, the plant dyes may subtly shift, telling the story of the garment’s life.

 

Rooted in the earth. Designed for the conscious spirit.
