Indigo - the timeless dye that turns our jeans blue and has fascinated people for thousands of years. While industrial indigo is now mostly produced synthetically, we are experiencing a renaissance in natural dyeing. But what makes this traditional technique so special?

Why natural indigo?
The answer lies in the uniqueness of each dyeing process. Unlike synthetic dyes, the color of natural indigo develops slowly, creating depth and character. Each piece is unique.

The dyeing process
The special thing about indigo dyeing is the transformation: in the dye bath, the fabric initially appears yellowish-green. It is only when it comes into contact with oxygen that the characteristic blue develops. With each dip, the color becomes more intense until the desired tone is achieved.

sustainability in focus
Natural indigo is more than just a dye - it represents a conscious use of resources. The process does not involve any harmful chemicals and creates long-lasting textiles that become even more beautiful over time.
