It all began with a slice of cheese

Kombucha Jewelry and Couture are unique creations from Sacha Laurin whose career as a professional cheesemaker has taken her from fermenting milk with bacteria and yeasts to fermenting green tea with SCOBYs (Symbiotic Colony of Yeast and Bacteria) and transforming the growing "colony" into live clothing and fashion. She still loves cheese! Her love and expertise in the alchemy, science and art of cheesemaking has crossed over into a passion for understanding the kombucha culture and how best to develop it as a sustainable fabric that could be used in developing countries as well as in haute couture and daily couture.
Sacha's goal is creating and furthering this new versatile fabric that can mimic leather, canvas, silk or butterfly wings depending on growing and production techniques. Her love for color and the magical play between light and texture has inspired her to use food dyes which keep the live culture breathing and vibrant. Kombucha Couture- fashioning live culture.
