Would you ever have thought of using fabric dye to dye decorative elements such as ostrich feathers?
When we talk about fabric dye, the common use that immediately springs to mind is certainly that on clothes and fabrics, whether to recolour them completely or even just to brighten their colour.
However, this product is actually very versatile and can be applied to a variety of materials and surfaces ranging from wood to leather or even feathers, as in this case.
Maud Ruby is a French fashion designer with a special interest in materials and textures. She has worked for the most famous French craft workshops such as Maison Legeron, Lemarié, Mad studio (of designer Eric Charles-Donatien), Sandrine Bourg, but also for various high fashion houses such as Givenchy, The Row and Dries Van Noten. Today, in his professional studio, he focuses his work on the creation of hats and artistic compositions in ostrich feathers for interior design projects and haute couture.
Maud uses Aybel dyes to obtain a variety of different shades that she can then apply to her quilts. The wide choice of colours and the possibility of combining them gives her the opportunity to create unique and sophisticated shades, created ad-hoc for the projects for which they are intended.
