A protein-based adhesive is evenly applied to the fabric to bind the natural dye, followed by the addition of a small amount of chemical dye. This process, without the need for a mordant, enhances colorfastness (resisting fading from light, perspiration, and washing by stabilizing the pigments) and expresses the beautiful, natural colors on the fabric. Natural dyes are not singular entities like chemical dyes. A single color contains multiple pigments; the interplay of both weaker and stronger pigments creates a gentle, diffused reflection that appeals softly to our eyes. We hope you will enjoy the vibrant yet profound and gentle hues of botanical dyes. Botanical dyeing is an eco-friendly method, minimizing water pollution and consumption during the dyeing process, making it kind to both the earth and people.
