Katty and Yasmin, the creative forces behind Juniper & Bliss, have established a brand that's a testament to the restorative power of nature and the beauty of slow, patient craftsmanship. They embarked on this venture to bring an exclusive collection of plant-dyed, organic textiles to the market, designed for those who cherish sustainable, slow living. At their natural dye studio in Kent, Katty and Yasmin work meticulously with flowers, leaves, seeds, barks, and cones. The surrounding woodlands, meadows, and historic gardens offer an abundant source for their foraging activities, providing the raw materials for a rich palette of natural colours. Sustainability and a deep respect for the environment are the cornerstones of their approach. They adhere to a zero-waste policy and abstain from using harmful chemicals. This ensures their processes are as kind to the earth as they are to their customers. Katty and Yasmin's commitment extends beyond their studio in Kent. They have forged enduring partnerships with artisans and makers in India, focusing on fair working conditions and the integrity of traditional techniques. In Belgium, they collaborate with a socially responsible atelier, highlighting their dedication to inclusivity. (profile photo by Sarah Cuttle)
