The juniper berry dye imparts a gentle blue-gray hue. The natural grayish-beige undertones of the linen blend gauze are reflected, resulting in a subtly muted and sophisticated blue-gray. Both the lining and the main fabric are made of a linen blend gauze (18% linen, 82% organic cotton), offering a smooth and airy feel.

[What is Botanical Dyeing?] Botanical dyeing is a technique that extracts color from plants such as flowers, leaves, roots, stems, trees, bark, and fruits. A natural adhesive derived from proteins is applied to the fabric to ensure even absorption of the dye. Subsequently, a small amount of chemical dye is added to enhance colorfastness (resistance to fading from light, sweat, and washing) without the need for traditional mordants. This process allows for the expression of beautiful, natural colors on the fabric. Natural dyes are complex, unlike single-component chemical dyes. A single color contains multiple pigments, which interact through light refraction to create a gentle, pleasing hue to the eye. We hope you enjoy the vibrant yet deep and soft colors achieved through botanical dyeing. Botanical dyeing is an eco-friendly method that minimizes water pollution and consumption during the dyeing process, making it gentle on both the planet and people.
