[ Notes ]

The handmade nature of Hmong textiles means that they may have imperfections from the natural process of weaving, batik application and dying, often further adding to their character and uniqueness.

Colors may differ ever so slightly to the pictures due to different viewing monitors / device displays.

Fabric Care : Wash fabric in cold/lukewarm water, ideally by hand, and shade dry. Salting the water slightly helps prevent further dye loss.

[ What is Indigo Dye? ]

Indigo dye has been used for thousands of years by civilizations all over the world to dye fabric blue. As much as 1 tonne of leaves is needed to produce just 2kg of dye. Natural indigo is also a sustainable dye; after the pigment has been extracted the plant residue can be composted and used as a fertilizer and the water reused to irrigate crops.
