Naturally dyed fabric bag (madder root)

Naturally dyed fabric bags – hand-dyed, fairly produced, each piece unique

Made from fair trade organic cotton, lightweight yet durable. Dyed in my studio – with plants, not chemicals. Each bag is produced in small batches and is unique.

Details:

• 100% organic cotton
• 160 g/m² – light & soft, perfect for taking with you
• Long handles (65 cm), size: 37 × 42 cm
• Dyed in Cologne with natural colors
• Each shade is unique

What is behind it?

I dye each bag myself – using natural dyes from plants and food waste. I prepare the fabrics in a cold-set mordant before dyeing. The result: soft color gradients, vibrant contrasts, and a unique look.

The bags themselves come from the Belgian manufacturer Stanley/Stella . Why?

I can't (yet) produce my own textiles – so to start with, I'm working with selected blank fabrics that are produced fairly and sustainably.

Stanley/Stella is known in the fashion world for its high quality and fair production. I appreciate their transparency, their organic and recycled materials – which allows me to experiment with colors, materials, and shapes in small batches before switching to rescued or my own fabrics.

The vision? In the future, everything at Cosmaki will be made from existing textiles. Upcycled, repaired, reimagined.

Care instructions:

Best washed by hand or on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Light colors may bleed slightly—this is normal for natural dyes and part of their charm.
