New Beginnings x MILA.VERT / upcycle recipe
Order a makeover for your favorite but stained or washed-out item. Let it be reborn with one of Brinas Studio’s signature in-studio-developed recipes. This recipe is especially suited to cover coffee, tea, and all other brownish stains.
Colors
The soft pink base is made from madder and avocado pigments and ranges from peach to pink depending on the material and dye lot. It is complemented by the groundedness of the iron’s brown-bronze winding-twisting pattern. The gentle feminine and the grounded masculine. This recipe finds the middle.
Every piece is hand-dyed and unique.
Select the piece(s) you will send in:
How it works
search through your closet to find a stained, faded, or forgotten piece(s)
find your item (or more of them) on the list above, select it, and make an online purchase (the price of dyeing service depends on the weight of your item)
send the item(s) to our studio address: Brinas Studio, Mariborska cesta 1, 2360 Radlje ob Dravi, Slovenia (use a shipping option with tracking, we cannot for undelivered packages)
make sure you put your desired delivery address on the package (or in the package if it’s different than the address you’re sending the package from)
if you live in Ljubljana, Slovenia you can drop your piece(s) at Kavarna Specialka at Center Rog, Trubarjeva cesta 72
wait for natural dyeing magic to happen and wear your reborn pieces with love
What can you send in
Natural colors can only dye natural fiber. Your selected piece(s) needs to be:
made of at least 70% of natural fiber (cotton, linen, viscose…)
white or light-colored base
NOT SUITABLE: pieces made of wool or silk (they require a different fabric prep process), synthetic clothing, socks and underwear (for hygienic reasons), pieces with sharp objects or very delicate items
there is no need to wash your item before sending it in unless it’s stinky and very dirty
You can send in any brand of clothing, not only Mila.Vert pieces
AT YOUR OWN RISK you can send in pieces with prints and logos. The first step of natural dyeing is fabric cleaning - slowly heating up to 70 degrees Celsius and we cannot guarantee what will happen to the print
If you can’t find your item email us at brinas.studio@gmail.com and we will create a separate invoice for you.
Timeline
This is a limited-time, January 2024 project. Dyeing will happen in 2 batches:
BATCH 1: All clothing received until 14th of January / Ship out on 22nd of January
BATCH 2: All clothing received until 5th of February / Ship out on the 12th of February
Important notes
A few things you need to know!
Upcycled pieces are custom-dyed and cannot be refunded, redone, or returned.
The base color of your piece and its material will define the final colors.
Every piece is hand-dyed and absolutely unique. Your piece will turn out similar, but differently than the ones in the pictures.
You need to make sure that your pieces are made of at least 70% of natural fiber.
