Liz Mortensen is a Chicago-based textile artist and the founder of Laila Textiles, where every piece begins not in a factory but in nature. Using a traditional bundle dyeing process, Liz hand-dyes each silk scarf with plants and botanicals, coaxing color and pattern from the earth in ways that can never be exactly repeated. The result is a collection of 100% Habotai silk scarves that are as individual as the person wearing them — soft, luminous, and alive with organic detail. Petite Protea is proud to partner with Liz, an innovative and ethical artist.
