Mimicry Clothing designed a series of handmade organic prints to decorate clothing. Based in Ukraine, the sustainable brand set up shop on Etsy and Instagram.
Mimicry means close contact with nature in megapolises, so the brand brings people back to the natural environment wherever they are. Designers use natural dyeing for fabrics. They gather season plants such as peony, marigolds, elderberry, strawberry, eucalyptus, sumac, oak for hand-printed patterns.
Eco print technique transfers pigments from the plant to the fabric by heat treatment. It is a mystery how the eco print will look after that, but it guarantees the item is unique.
Mimicry Clothing also organizes workshops on handmade organic prints. Inspired participants decorate scarves and t-shirts made of silk, cotton, or linen.
