Care Instructions and FAQ

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

All our garments ship pre-washed and preshrunk. To prolong the life of your indigo dyed garments we recommend hand washing in lukewarm water and hanging to dry.

Items such as bedding, baby items and cotton tshirts can be washed in a laundry machine in cold water and machine dried. 

First and second washing should be separate from others, after this dye will not transfer onto other clothing and can be washed with similar clothing. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. 

WHAT IS NATURAL INDIGO MADE OF?

Leaves. Indigofera tinctoria, also called true indigo, is a species of plant from the bean family. Indigo is the only natural source of 'true blue' color. While some other natural materials may yield various blues, plant based indigo generates the only colourfast method. 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SYNTHETIC INDIGO AND NATURAL?

“Although the chemical formula for natural and synthetic indigo is the same, synthetic indigo is almost pure indigotin. Natural indigo has a high proportion of impurities such as indirubins, that give beautiful colour variations.”
