Buffy's Eco Sheets are Colored with Plants, Fruits & Spices
Laura McQuarrie — September 20, 2019 — Art & Design
Buffy's direct-to-consumer eucalyptus sheets, pillowcases and comforters are made with an alternative to cotton that's not only allergy-safe and gentler on the skin but also has a higher thread count. The brand's popular eucalyptus fabric sheets are now available in colors that have been naturally dyed with simple, plant-based ingredients like fruits and spices.
While the Dark Gray and Light Gray colors are subtle and neutral, developed from a combination of pomegranate, eucalyptus and tea, the Blush-colored eucalyptus sheets takes on its rosy tone from turmeric, gardenia and walnut. Rather than using conventional methods to color its eco-friendly sheets, Buffy favors ultrasonic dyeing, which uses sound waves to penetrate textile fibers and is a safer method for the people who are involved in the dyeing process.
