[What is Botanical Dye?] Botanical dyeing is a technique that extracts dyes from sources such as flowers, leaves, roots, stems, trees, bark, and fruits. A protein-based adhesive is evenly applied to the fabric to help the natural dye bind to the fibers. Then, a small amount of chemical dye is added to act as a mordant, enhancing colorfastness (resistance to fading from light, sweat, and washing) without the need for traditional mordants. This process allows the beautiful, natural colors to be expressed on the fabric. Natural dyes are not composed of a single element like chemical dyes. A single color contains multiple pigments, and the interplay of both weak and strong pigments creates a soft, diffused reflection, resulting in colors that are gentle to our eyes. We hope you enjoy the vibrant yet deep and gentle hues of botanical dyeing. Botanical dyeing is also an eco-friendly dyeing method that is kind to both people and the planet, as it generates less water pollution and consumes less water during the dyeing process.
