"I am stealing away on a Sunday afternoon. I don’t tell a soul I am leaving. Not even the little wolf dog who stands guard outside the macellaria, awaiting a wafer thin slice of something from someone. I leave as the sun breaks and its burst beams from the center of my chest. A bouquet I’ll keep for myself. I follow the ferrovie to Firenze. I’ve spent more for a compartment. So I can slide the door shut and slip in beside the window. Gold and olive roll by. I lie down in those fields with my eyes and I am not a stranger. At a nameless station just outside the city, a man enters the compartment. He has eyes like layered leaves—yellow and green like the land. The silence between us becomes a smile. As we near our stop, the train shifts and his satchel comes loose from above. Papers with red pen marks spill across my lap. A letter with more stamps than I’ve ever seen. He asks for permission and reaches across me and tucks the envelope down into his pocket. The inside of his jacket is silky and swirling with shapes. They look like tear drops cried by someone in a place that’s far away." - XO, Otea

Fabric

Our odorless textile inks meet high standards of environmental responsibility and are certified Oeko Tex- Eco Passport, GOTS and CPSIA

As the textile industry produces 20% of the world’s water pollution, our manufacturer intentionally chose the most sustainable digital textile pigment printing technology. 

The streamlined, one-step printing process virtually eliminates the consumption of water and the discharge of noxious effluents (liquid waste discharged into a river or ocean), by using low volumes of liquid dispersions of pigment colors. 

A pretreatment and softener are applied in-line during the printing process, providing an extremely efficient solution to creating durable, vivid colors and a softer hand feel without additional processing steps. 

Color fastness is achieved by heat fixation, rather than steam and washing procedures, avoiding the use of any chemicals or the creation of water pollution. 

Wallpaper

Our odorless wallpaper inks meet high standards of environmental responsibility and are certified UL ECOLOGO®, UL GREENGUARD GOLD® and AgBB
