Dyestuff: Indigotin
Plant part used: Leaves
Resulting Colours: Indigo Blues
Grown around the world, Indigo is truly a universal dyestuff - its story woven through the fields of agriculture, science, art and botany. Few natural materials have travelled so widely, or held such a singular place in human history. Across cultures, indigo has carried spiritual meaning, adorned bodies and textiles, and become an everyday icon worn across the globe as denim.
Its pigment, indigotin, emerges from hundreds of species: from Indigofera Tinctoria in India, to Polygonum Tinctoria in Japan, and Woad, native to Europe. Coveted for centuries, indigo is a colour of transformation. From the vat, the cloth emerges green, then slowly turns blue as it meets the air - a beautiful moment of natural alchemy.
Cultivation in the Himalayas
Alongside Madder, Indigo is the only plant that’s actively cultivated in the Himalayas. Seeded in spring, it's harvested right after the monsoon in late summer.
