Meet the Maker

Hello!  My name is Luvenia Humphrey.  I love all things art and I especially love wearing art.  That's why I created Venia Ethnic Designs where I get to create elegant "art to wear" for the free spirited individual.  I create each unique garment from beginning to end which includes choosing the fabric, the dyes, creating the designs on the fabric, and sewing the finished piece.  My designs are one of a kind and made one at a time by the creator herself, me, Venia!  Luscious beautiful colors and designs are what I love!  Only natural fiber fabrics such as silk, rayon, linen, and cotton are used to create the majority of my fashions.  Beautiful polyester fabrics are utilized as well for some items. My cocoon jackets, shawls, kimonos and ponchos are made from natural fibers and are hand dyed and, as with all of my creations, hand stitched.  My hand dyed garments are dyed using ancient African and Japanese techniques to produce vibrant colors and stunning patterns. Visit my shop and be excited by the color and variety of creations that I offer. You'll be glad that you did!  "Bring color into your world with Venia Ethnic Designs."

How it’s Made

This peony colored itajime Venia Ethnic Design poncho is made by hand from habotai silk.  The silk fabric is scoured to create a clean environment in order for the the dyes to bond to the fabric. Silk thread is used to finish the edges of the entire piece. The design patterns are created using shibori techniques to include scrunching, pleating, knotting, binding with string and pleating, which is itajime.  Procion dyes are used to create the luscious colors.

This garment can be dry cleaned, or hand washed in cold water with mild soap ( Blue Dawn dish washing liquid, or a few drops of shampoo.  Do not use Woolite.)  Silk is very delicate so do not scrub, wring or twist while washing.  After washing, gently roll up in a towel to take out the rest of the water.  Do not wring.  Hang until slightly damp, then iron while damp,(no Steam), on silk setting.
