Dyeing with sage
Enjoy a little taste of what you can expect inside the Billynou community subscription. This free bonus video takes you on a journey to my garden and through the process of dyeing beautiful colours with Sage, an unexpected but potent dye plant.
Join to the Billynou community subscriptions space.
A space where you will find content and inspiration to help you connect to your creativity and create your own naturally dyed wardrobe and universe. This community is for you if you want to learn the foundations of natural dyes or maybe you already have some experience but you’re not quite sure how to apply this knowledge to the practice of dyeing garments or how to translate it into your own projects. Or maybe you have just been captivated (like many of us) by the pure wonder of natural colour and want to know more. In this space you will be provided with monthly content to inspire, guide and inform you on how to do this yourself and, over time, you will build on your knowledge and integrate it into your creative practice, ultimately creating your own conscious, natural wardrobe.
There are still rainbows 2026 collection.
A spring collection dedicated to my beautiful mum, who loved the spring. The colours in this collection are popping, beautifully saturated tones achieved with only natural pigments. As usual, there are only a limited amount of pieces. Creating and dyeing each piece takes a lot of love and energy, this is maximum slow fashion, each piece is completely unique with its own character to share.

This scarf has been naturally dyed with pomegranate and cochineal.

A note on natural dyes: Natural dyes are often described as “living colour.” They have a charm and personality very unlike chemical dyes, with a much higher energetic vibration of life. This does mean that some colours may vary or fade over time. It is important to treat them with love and care: keep them out of sunlight when not wearing them, and wash them gently with cool water and pH-neutral soap.
Shades may vary slightly from the photo due to lighting.

Classic original Billynou overalls.
These overalls are a one-off and made from a beautiful heavy-weight vintage French linen, sourced by me here in France. A very versatile garment that can be worn through all seasons with a little more or less layering.
They are an oversized design, originally conceptualised for easy, comfortable pregnancy wear. The design has changed a little over time, and we suggest sizing up if you are pregnant to ensure there is room to accommodate a bump. Similarly, if you are unsure which size to choose, we always suggest sizing up because, let’s face it, baggy is always better!
These overalls have been naturally hand ice dyed with cochineal and pomegranate to achieve these stunning textures.
Ceilidh is a size medium and 175 cm tall.
Care instructions: Wash cool with pH-neutral detergent.

Please also note that I use vintage fabric not only for its beautiful qualities but also because it already exists, avoiding the production of new material. This does mean that, even though the utmost care is taken when choosing the fabric, there may occasionally be minimal signs of age.
Some Billynou garments are made to order. This is important to our ethos as it helps to eliminate waste and unnecessary products being made. Bearing this in mind please allow 2/3weeks for your garment to be processed. This is an estimate and in reality we endeavour to achieve a much faster production time. This excludes naturally dyed garments and garments made with vintage fabric, they are only listed when available.

This does mean that some colours may vary or fade over time. It is important to treat these pieces with love and care, keeping them out of Sunlight when not wearing them and washing them gently with cool water and PH neutral soaps.
Please also note that I use vintage fabric, not only for it’s beautiful qualities but also because it already exists, avoiding making new material. This does mean that even though the utmost care is taken when choosing the fabric there may occasionally be minimal signs of age.
Some Billynou garments are made to order. This is important to our ethos as it helps to eliminate waste and unnecessary products being made. Bearing this in mind please allow 2/3weeks for your garment to be processed. This is an estimate and in reality we endeavour to achieve a much faster production time. This excludes naturally dyed garments and garments made with vintage fabric, they are only listed when available.
Items are shipped from France. If you are ordering from outside Europe, please make sure you know your country's customs rules, as you may be charged import tax upon receiving your items. This is not part of the postage cost and is your responsibility to pay.
