French Indigo-Dyed Corduroy Work Jacket

The first discovery of indigo-dyed fabric dates back to Peru, around 6000 years ago. The ancient art of natural dyeing, particularly with indigo, has its roots in China and Africa, with China being renowned for its exceptional techniques.

Unlike chemical dyes, which produce a single tone, the natural dyeing technique reveals a rich spectrum of colors. From delightful blues to cloudy grays, each plant imparts a unique hue that chemical dyes can't replicate. This characteristic lends itself to personalization, changing with wear to create a unique appearance. The process, from plant picking to creating the dye, is time-consuming. The final color is influenced by the specific parts of the plants chosen for the dye. Each dyeing process requires multiple water rinses until the color becomes solid and rich.
