about OCELOT

Angelina DeAntonis began Ocelot twelve years ago, focusing the line on hand-dyed itajime, and using all natural fibers. With a commitment to hand-made and integrity, the textile-art-clothing is all made in house. Plant and insect dyes are used. Natural dyes make up about 50% of the dyeing presently. Angelina hopes to slowly use more and more natural dyes in the textiles.

The pieces have traveled around the world, in Joan Baez's European-American Tour and in 'Six Feet Under'. Ocelot has been exhibited around the U.S. and internationally in Japan, Chile, England, and Canada.

Many amazing and adventurous women (and some men), say ocelot is great for travelling.

Artists and designers have come to covet the expression of spirit that Ocelot clothes embody.

The Ocelot studio has hosted workshops in textiles with internationally recognized textile artists, like Rasul Mirzaahmedov from Uzbekistan and Joan Morris from the U.S.

Angelina has taught workshops in itajime technique with natural dyes.
