Imagine you are standing barefoot in a field that stretches to the horizon. The earth beneath your feet is pulsating with life, and small, star-shaped flowers are shining between the green leaves. Here, in this sea of green and white, there is a hidden treasure - madder root, a wonder of color that has fascinated mankind for thousands of years.
The Root of All Red
Deep underground, the roots of Rubia tinctorum, better known as madder, snake their way. Inside them lie pigments that produce the fiery red that nature has to offer. Since the times of the Pharaohs and Roman emperors, this red has adorned garments and works of art, a symbol of power, passion and vitality.
From Earth to Garment
The path from the root to the dye is a journey through time and tradition:
1. The roots are carefully lifted out of the soil, each one a small treasure trove of color.
2. When dried and ground, they turn into a luminous powder.
3. Dissolved in hot water, their true magic unfolds - a bath in which fibers come to life again.
The result? A spectrum of reds ranging from delicate rose to deep crimson, each shade a reflection of the earth from which it comes.
More than just color – a flame for the soul
But madder root is more than just a dye. Its power reaches deep into our being:
A cycle of nature
The use of madder root is more than a dyeing technique - it is a philosophy. Each piece dyed with madder speaks of our respect for nature, traditional craftsmanship and the pursuit of a life in harmony with the earth. It is a promise to ourselves and to future generations to preserve and honor the treasures of our planet.
When you wear a garment from our Madder collection, you are not just wearing color on your skin. You are wearing a piece of living history, a connection to the roots of our existence and a reminder of the fiery power that lies dormant within each of us.
Let madder root ignite your inner fire. Wear its color as a reminder that you are part of a greater whole - wild, alive and infinitely valuable, like nature itself.
