SUSTAINABILITY: THE MATERIAL USED FOR THIS TRENCH COAT IS MADE FROM TWO LAYERS OF UNDYED UNBLEACHED EUROPEAN LINEN. EACH TRENCH IS HAND PAINTED USING AN ALGAE DYE PASTE. THIS CUTS BACK ON  WATER USAGE TO DYE GARMENTS. INSTEAD OF TAKING GALLONS OF WATER TO DYE ONE GARMENT, THIS HAND PAINTING TECHNIQUE DYES 6-10 GARMENTS USING ONLY 2 CUPS OF WATER. THE DYE USED TO COLOR THE TRENCH IS A PLANT-BASED NATURAL DYE MIXED WITH IRON AND TANNINS EXTRACTED FROM CHESTNUT BARK. THIS PIECE IS ADDITIONALLY DESIGNED TO TAKE THE PLACE OF MULTIPLE GARMENTS IN A WARDROBE LIMITING WASTE. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE DYE, THE COLOR IN THIS GARMENT IS MEANT TO FADE OVER TIME CREATING A MORE INTIMATE AND PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH THE WEARER. ALL SCRAPS FROM THE CUTTING PROCESS OF THIS GARMENT WILL BE SAVED AND REUSED IN NEW DESIGNS. ALL PAPER SCRAPS USED TO CREATE PATTERNS FOR THIS GARMENT ARE ALSO SAVED TO BE REUSED AS TAGS/ PACKAGING.
