WELCOME

I'm Olivia. I design and hand-stitch one-of-a-kind clothing. All naturally dyed, biodegradable, made to order, and made to last. Blodau means flowers in Welsh: a nod to where I'm from, and to everything that inspires what I make.

The Collection

A small collection with a big heart

Each dress is made from peace silk and other fully biodegradable materials, dyed with hues of natural dyes including marigold yellow, madder pink, and indigo blue.

The Process

From seed to stitch, every Blodau piece follows a circular journey. I source all my natural my dyes from UK suppliers. Dye pigments are extracted gently, and dye baths reused to remove waste. No toxic chemicals. No mass production.  Every piece is dyed, cut, sewn, and finished by me – keeping the process ethical and traceable.

Commissions

Thinking about a handmade dress, something naturally dyed and totally personal? Let’s bring it to life!

​

It all begins with a chat – on email, or over a cuppa if you’re local – and turns into a one-of-a-kind piece made just for you. Together we’ll choose fabrics, colours, and details that feel right for you (and kind to the earth). 

Behind the seams

A look behind the scenes – from flower to fabric. My journal covers the slow making process, natural dyeing, creative tangents and the small moments that make it all worthwhile.
