Inside the Natural Indigo Dye Vats

India’s home for luxury yarns and fabrics: cotton, silk, wool, zari and handloom, woven with heritage and delivered worldwide.

Indigo is fermented in earthen or cement vats for days before cloth is dipped.

Each dip oxidises from green to deep blue in the open air, so colour deepens with repetition.

Natural indigo gives gentle shade variation, which is part of the beauty and should be briefed to buyers up front.
