ABOUT ISABEL'S TREK
ISABEL'S TREK IS ABOUT MY JOURNEY IN PURSUING AND PROMOTING THE USE OF NATURAL DYES ON NATURAL FABRICS AND MATERIALS. I am involved in the process of designing and creating bags, hats and fashion accessories using natural materials and dyes. There is much to learn about the use of natural dyes. It is my chosen task to educate myself and you, as well. I can enjoy sharing the story of my business, and together we can do our part in protecting Mother Earth.
There are too many toxins and chemicals that poison the Earth. It's time that we all make the changes necessary to protect the Earth.
