BLUEREDYELLOW
BLUEREDYELLOW is a design and natural dye house producing comfortable, chemical free textiles since 2010. It was started by Elissa Meyers, now Pettibone (right) and Mira Adornetto (left) through The Corzo Center for the Creative Economy in Philadelphia. Elissa has relocated to Homer, Alaska and continues to work as an alternative dye service-piece dyeing for local artisans. She also continues to work on new pieces and consistently teaches workshops for all age ranges. Feel free to contact with interest on classes or a special order. Also, please do not hesitate to ask us questions! We intend to be completely open about our process and the origins of our products. We believe that our customers have every right to know each step that goes into creating what they wear.
Of course we are grateful for all of our friends, family and investors for supporting this endeavor!
