The indigo-dyed cotton fabric and cord are cut from a single piece, meaning each item's pattern details will vary; items will be shipped randomly. The image shown is a bracelet style; a matching collarbone necklace can also be custom-made. **> Indigo Dyeing** "Blue, taken from indigo, yet bluer than indigo." Polygonum tinctorium, an annual herb of the Polygonaceae family, is primarily used for dyeing, giving indigo dyeing its name. Indigo dyeing is a type of plant dyeing. Through multiple immersions and a process full of unpredictability, it creates wonderful color gradients and textures. This is nature's inherent creativity, and the captivating essence of indigo dyeing, always offering unexpected delights. **> Plant Dyeing** Plant dyes are derived from nature. Different plants yield different colors, imbuing fabrics with pure, soft hues and a subtle herbal fragrance. Though some fading may occur after the first wash, it is reminiscent of colors softened by time—possessing a natural, tranquil, and lived-in quality. **> Care Instructions** 1 Traditional plant-dyed items have undergone a water wash and color-fixing treatment. Due to the handmade dyeing process, color variations are irregular and uneven; each product will have slight differences, please be aware! 2 Plant-dyed items are resistant to dirt and sweat. If soiled, localized cleaning is possible. They can also be washed with cold water; do not soak or wring forcefully. Avoid prolonged sun exposure; hang to dry in a cool, ventilated area. 3 They can be worn daily for washing and light exercise without removal. Considering that cotton products are slow to dry when wet, which may affect their lifespan, wearing them during bathing is not recommended. **The purer the indigo dye, the more significant its colorfastness limitations due to the absence of chemical fixing agents. However, this is an integral part of its charm. This fading after use is beautifully termed 'luo se' (falling color); without it, indigo dyeing would lose its unique allure.**
