MANTIS COLLABORATION
BORDERLINE THE LABEL AND MANTIS as individual brands complement each other beautifully, from conceptualization to the final product. Collaborating so closely with Teymour Pourcines of MANTIS is nothing short of an artistic journey filled with talent, expression, knowledge, and exquisite craftsmanship.
Hand-dyeing requires patience; it’s a precise chemistry that cannot be rushed. This meticulous process, akin to an artful dance, involves the deliberate infusion of colors, transforming the mundane into a canvas of expressive beauty.
The beauty of dyeing lies in taking something plain and decorating it with vibrant, paternalistic colors that exude expression. It evokes emotions without being naïve, maintaining an unpretentious charm when executed thoughtfully.
At its core, dyeing is the art of achieving compelling patterns. The process demands trial and error to fully master the craft. Balancing color and pattern through techniques such as blocking and binding unlocks endless variations in design.
With this in mind, no two pieces are ever the same, yet they share a unified identity. Each is a twin with its own unique individuality.
Every detail is carefully considered to minimize waste during the creation of these garments, reflecting a commitment to both artistry and sustainability.
