When chestnut bugs become vegetable dyes

Anne from DAVIA Tintura Corsa

Anne has just set up her own natural dyeing workshop in Balagne: DAVIA Tintura Corsa. Based in Corbara, facing the sea, she makes the most of the island's vegetal terroir and the color palette of local plants.

But she's not averse to venturing into the mountains! For Castagnina, she worked the chestnut bug into beautiful brown and chestnut colours. Beyond the undeniable chromatic results, we're proud to be giving a new lease of life to these ricci, long considered to be nothing more than bulky waste...

Elegant, ethical and innovative accessories!

Whether it's a musette bag or a stole, all DAVIA Tintura Corsa items are made in small batches from French linen, dyed using only Corsican plants and embellished with hand-crafted motifs.
So many good reasons to choose these beauties, which are the result of traditional know-how, where natural dyeing combines the hypoallergenic and thermoregulating properties of linen with the benefits and unique colours of our plants.

Yes to natural fibres and vegetable dyes! With this superb stole, you can wrap yourself in softness and take care of yourself: the thermoregulatory and hypoallergenic properties of linen are combined with the benefits of a non-chemical dye... and it's unique! We're talking about dyeing chestnut bogues, which until now have been little-used, or even considered bulky, aggressive waste... But with DAVIA Tintura Corsa, we've realised that they produce a beautiful golden colour. And to enhance their brilliance, a few of the motifs have been shaped by hand!
