BAREFOOT NATURAL DYES SHAWL
NATURAL DYES from BAREFOOT is slow made small production of shawls made from vegetable dyes made from plant roots, flowers, leaves, fruit and discarded sawdust from wood mills. The dye is fixed with an organic binding agent so it doesn’t run or fade. The shawls are handwoven and individually handmade and finished with tassels.
Barefoot celebrates the craft of weaving and the art of design. Founded by artist Barbara Sansoni in the 1960s, her bold use of colour and geometry has shaped Barefoot’s iconic identity. What began as a weaving initiative for women in a convent workshop near Colombo has grown into a network of skilled artisans. Barefoot’s cloth is handwoven in its own centres, dyed in an environmentally certified plant, and crafted with care—free from factories or production lines.
