LEAF & LOOM presents wearable botanical archives on fabric at BioArt Laboratories. We offer a zero-waste fashion alternative by transferring plant pigments into fibers through a careful steaming and boiling process, without synthetic chemicals.

Nature's Palette

Nature holds the most vibrant color palette for our wardrobes. The Art of Sustainable Fashion: Ecoprint reveals how local flora and everyday kitchen remnants can permanently dye and pattern clean silk, cotton, and linen without the use of synthetic chemicals.

About LEAF&LOOM

LEAF & LOOM, founded by textile artist Nihan Elmacı Başaran, is a sustainable textile and ecoprint studio based in Rotterdam. The studio specializes in natural dyeing and botanical printing, transforming clean silk, cotton, and linen into zero-waste wearable art. By working exclusively with plant-based pigments and natural processes, LEAF & LOOM bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and sustainable contemporary design.
