Our Creative Process

People always wonder how we create our art. We produce each and every piece by hand, thoughtfully and carefully, one at a time.

We work with hand mixed dyes on 100% silk fabric on cotton denim dropcloth, laid out on long worktables. Drawing our images on to the silk, then hand painting, carefully choosing and blending our dyes.

The silk pieces are heat set, washed and ironed and are ready to go as scarves or stitched into clothing and neckties.

The dropcloth, which has taken on the patterns and colors of the silks, is re-embellished and crafted into our bags and housewares.

These are the secrets of IRO Design - everything is eco-friendly, with no materials wasted.
