BANDANA IN PRINTED COFFEE DYE
-
Details
For this production the artist and designer Cesca Dvorak has composed a special bandana print of Tender’s booted elephants and indigo sprigs, and her own humanoid mosquitoes and alder twigs. Her work is screen printed with water based inks onto cotton satin curtain lining 22” bandanas. The print is signed with Cesca’s ribbon at the top left corner, and the bandana is labeled with Tender’s red blanket elephant at the bottom right.
Coffee dyed garments are the result of six months’ experimentation to reach this soft brown dye. Kaldi, a goat herd in what is now Ethiopia, noticed the vigour in his animals when they nibbled the berries of a certain bush, and tried one himself. He was so excited by the results that he picked a basket of the berries and brought them to his village.A monk declared the effects to be the work of the devil, and threw the berries into the fire, but the roasting smell was so delicious that he changed his mind, and placed the charred beans in a jug of hot water, making the first pot of coffee.
Tender’s designer William Kroll puts a lot of care into their research, design, manufacture, and wear. Just as a gardener tends to a vegetable patch, or a shepherd is the tender to a flock of sheep, Tender has the hope that it's customers will live with their products, wearing them hard, but respecting their provenance and the stories they have to tell. The British-made clothes and accessories are manufactured in small factories, ateliers, and homes around the country, exploring new approaches to traditional weaving, making, tanning, and dyeing.
