Alunia - Valley Botanic Dye T-Shirt Level 3 - Sophora Indigo

The garment first begins with a dye bath of Sophora Japonica infused with mineral ions as the mordant, followed with a continuous movement to enhance the fabric's ability to absorb the dye. This meticulous dyeing method imparts a natural and rustic charm to our fabrics, allowing for the infusion of a vintage or aged aesthetic. Once the Sophora Japonica dye is set, the garment is treated with faded indigo, creating a unique gradient pattern that blends the two colours. Precise attention is vital during this stage. Striking the appropriate balance upon emerging from the indigo bath is essential, as careful management of the oxidation process ensures the preservation of the essence of the Sophora Japonica dye.
