Natural indigo has been used to dye fabric for thousands of years; evidence exists that the ancient Egyptians used it to dye linen to wrap mummies. Extracted from the indigo plant, natural indigo dying is time-consuming process which is why a vast majority of commercially produced products, including denim, are now dyed using synthetic indigo dyes. These napkins are each individually hand-dyed using a nine-step process. A resist-dying technique, inspired by Japanese shibori techniques, is used to prevent the indigo dye from penetrating the parts of the fabric that remain white. The result is a geometric painterly pattern that we adore.
