Ingredients

Indigo / Indigofera tinctoria

Indigo is a natural dye extracted from the leaves of some plants of the Indigofera genus, in particular Indigofera tinctoria; dye-bearing Indigofera plants are commonly grown and used throughout the world, in Asia in particular, as an important crop, with the production of indigo dyestuff economically important due to the previous rarity of some blue dyestuffs historically.

Dyeing Process

Indigo is reduced in fermentation vats. The 'ready-for-dye' t-shirts are first immersed in a vat then dried. The blue colour appears through a process of oxidation.

The process is then repeated to achieve darker shades. When the desired shade is achieved, the t-shirts are rinsed and washed in hot detergent to stablise the colour.

Fabric & Color Care

As the colors are derived from natural ingredients, it's natural that they fade over time. To preserve the longevity of the colors, avoid placing them under direct sunlight and store in cool place. Hang shirt to avoid discoloration along folds.

Wash fabric by hand or machine wash with a gentle cycle. Use a gentle washing detergent as much as possible. Avoid using bleach. Dry in shade. Do not machine dry.
