A classic silhouette becomes a unique piece of wearable artwork through our limited-run collaboration with Bozeman-based artist Kellie Swanson of KSX ART. Each print is created by hand using the power of the sun and local Montana botanicals, revealing the plants’ tiniest details and bearing the signature splatters and streaks of the artist as she produced each design. This tee is made with structured, heavyweight organic cotton that wears soft on skin and features the custom logo of our collaboration with the Whitebark Pine Ecosystem Foundation. A portion of sales will go directly toward their important work protecting critical whitebark pine ecosystems.
These handmade items need special care and love—handle with the tenderness they deserve! By following a few simple tips, you can extend the life of your garment's vibrant print.
I recommend hand washing only. Turn your item inside out and do not use any soap or detergent containing phosphates, bleach, or sodium. Air dry or tumble alone on low heat. Do not dry in direct sunlight. Overwashing may cause the print to fade. If fading occurs over time, washing the print in a dilute bath of hydrogen peroxide can usually restore it to its original intensity.
Just like a good pair of vintage jeans, natural dye will change over time. Though the colors may shift and blend like a mesmerizing watercolor painting, it's a testament to the living essence of the dye. I encourage you to embrace the ever-changing shades it brings.
