Vida Después is an eco friendly and sustainable brand based in New York founded by Jasmine Santiago. As Jasmine learned about her imprint on the planet, she began to experiment with botanical dyes to give new life to fabrics and vintage clothing using discarded flowers, herbs and food scraps. Jasmine uses her hands with intention to offer the magic she finds in her own life and her relationship with Mother Earth.
“What I like the most about working with plant dye is being able to create something beautiful out of something that’s considered at the end of it’s life. And no matter how much thought and effort I put into the creation, nature creates the art...and nature is unpredictable. I’m just the hands, nature is the artist. Getting my hands dirty is healing for me. ”
