Lava Living Large Flat Clutch - Marbled Shibori

the brand story:

Lava Living  is a small business run by Brisbane-based artist Kirsten Bailey. Kirsten works with plant-based natural textiles and uses traditional Shibori and Indigo dyeing techniques to present a modern interpretation of ancient crafts. Shibori is a resist dye technique that began in Japan approximately 4000 years ago. Traditionally Shibori textiles are dyed with Indigo which was once referred to as 'Blue Gold' as it was such a valuable trading commodity in the ancient world.
