Rainbow + Yarrow
offerings are plant dyed natural fibers for everyday living.
Each piece is handmade with intention & integrity.
Through the alchemy of the pigments and spirits of the plant,
a one of a kind healing vibration is imbued into each piece. Our studio is sheltered under a great grandmother cedar who offers cedar bows to each dye bath as I create within the living landscape and honor the ancestors of this land that continue to inspire me daily.
In Gratitude, Janessa
OUR OFFERINGS ARE PLANT DYED NATURAL FIBERS FOR LIVING LIFE AS RITUAL EVERYDAY
SHOP THE COLLECTION
Janessa Fortes Bautista created the Rainbow + Yarrow collection to harmonize beauty, spiritual practice, plant medicine, and everyday function. Inspired by the vibrant spectrum of colors in nature and the healing power of plants, this collection embodies the essence of Mother Nature. Rainbow + Yarrow offers a thoughtfully curated range of clothing and goods designed for comfort, simplicity, and calm—pieces that are both nourishing and practical. Since she began making clothes as a child in 1995, working with natural fibers has been central to her process. Today, Rainbow + Yarrow has evolved beyond a product line—it's a way of life.
