Naturally dyed with woad – due to the nature of dye method color may vary Woad (Isatis tinctoria) is a perennial herb that grows best in southern Europe where it produces the highest quality dye. Woad has indigo as the main dyeing component. The plant has an extremely long root, making it almost indestructable. The dye comes out of the dye bath yellow-green until oxidation turns it blue. When given the right conditions, the woad leaves start to ferment, excreting pigment to the water. It was the reigning blue dye in Europe until the arrival of indigo in the middle of the 16th century. The plant has healing properties and was also used to dye the cloth used for mummies in Egypt.

Material Deadstock Fabric - Deadstock fabric is also known as pre-consumer waste or post-industrial waste. - It is the material left over from the production of collections. - Deadstock fabric is made up of cutting leftovers and roll ends from our most used fabrics. We also take apart samples, rework them and redye them to create new pieces. - There is always 10-30% of the fabric that is cut away and discarded during the cutting process. These leftover materials are not damaged in any way but are too small for full-scale production. - The practice of using deadstock prevents fabric from ending up in landfills. - It reduces environmental impacts by choosing to use deadstock instead of virgin material.
