/ Product Description & Story /
As early as the 15th century, the Maya and Aztec civilizations used the ink tree to create purple and black dyes.
In today's world filled with chemical materials, natural dyeing feels exceptionally warm and special.
The process for plant dyeing is quite intricate: it involves fabric scouring, pattern tying/sewing, dye material preparation, boiling the dye liquid, mordanting, simmering in the pot, cooling to absorb color, rinsing... It generally requires dyeing twice for the color to be sufficiently saturated and beautiful. Only then can it be dewatered and air-dried.
Every step influences the final outcome, which is why plant-dyed goods are so unique.
Each piece is one of a kind.
This women's T-shirt uses a "spider leg" tying method, with a heart shape sewn and tied at both the front and back.
By utilizing two different mordants, the layered dyeing effect results in at least three color gradients.
A deeper color indicates more dye absorption, not dirtiness!

Plant-dyed item care:
1. Please use a mild, non-fluorescent, bleach-free detergent and gently hand wash, then air dry. Low-temperature ironing is also possible (generally, rinsing with water is sufficient).
2. Some slight color fading may occur during the first wash; separate from other garments.
3. Plant-dyed products improve in color with use.
A special reminder: the pigment from the ink tree is sensitive to acidity. Please avoid contact with any acidic substances.
Human sweat is acidic; wearing the garment may result in small spots after sweating. These will disappear after rinsing with water.
