1990's silk blouse dyed with avocado pits and hand-painted and revived using Cutch. Cutch is a plant dye made from the wood of the Acacia Catechu tree. It is both a dyestuff and tanning agent and has been used in India since ancient times. The organic avocado pits are collected overtime as avocados are a favorite in our house. The pre-loved blouse is constructed of a super soft, drapey and washable silk. Revived in our San Francisco Studio. One-of-a-kind.

Vintage/second hand items may come with minor flaws due to pre loved wear. Plant dyed items are all dyed by hand and saturation dye patterns tend to not be uniform (which is a characteristic that we LOVE). Please enjoy and appreciate this item with it's unique character. Vintage items are FINAL SALE. We want you to be happy with your one-of-a-kind piece, so please email lindsey@thefuturepaststudio for any questions regarding fit or condition.
