About Our Indigo Process
Indigo, known as the "King of Dyes," is one of the world's most ancient colorants, used by civilizations in Egypt and Asia for over 4,000 years. Even the 12th-century Roman historian Pliny the Elder wrote about indigo as yielding "a marvellous mixture of purple and blue."
The traditional process involves:

Hand-carved wooden blocks creating abstract geometric patterns
Natural indigo vat dyeing where white cloth is immersed
Oxidation process that transforms the fabric to rich blue upon air exposure
Processing time varies to achieve the perfect shade depth
