INDIAN " NEELA" Natural Indigo Dye Service
“Nila, the Indigo Blue of India, is a very old form of dyeing that results in a unique and vibrant color due to the use of naturally occurring bacteria in the process. Similar to wine-making, indigo-dyeing relies on microorganisms to ferment. As a result, every indigo vat is a different hue, despite using the same recipe. The transformation from a green plant to a blue, almost black color is truly magical.

[Notes on processing]
・Please send washed materials. Items that are heavily soiled or heavily discoloured may require a separate washing fee.
・Even if the quality label is 100% natural fibre, most sewing threads are polyester, so the stitches may not be dyed and may remain white.
・Old items, thin hand-spun, and hand-woven fabrics may break threads or tear the material as they are repeatedly dyed. In that case, I will stop dyeing at that point even before reaching the desired colour.
