Artisanal hand indigo dyed, 'Lan Yin Hua Bu'

100% natural densely woven cotton (Weight 225GSM Weave 12s/14s ) with frayed edges and knotted ends for a raw natural look.  Our natural calico cotton is thick yet soft and comfortable and good for skin contact over long periods. Traditionally 100% natural indigo has a natural anti bacterial quality.  We cannot guarantee that our scarves can have this continued antibacterial effect but natural plant dyes are better against the skin and to breath through then synthetic dyes. Google search on antibacterial effects of natural indigo. Hand-made, plant-dyed natural calico cotton with pattern created through an ancient method, by a traditional and recognised Indigo Master and his family, that uses hand cut katazome paper patterns with a resist soy bean and natural rock lime paste technique. Please see our on line and instagram videos for how it's made. Because of these natural processes, and ethical practices this product is a sustainable fashion item. You can learn more about the Lan Yin Hua Bu dyeing process here.

Care as a face cover:

wash after each use in minimum 60 degree celsius. Avoid contact with unwashed hands. Re-pleat if necessary and iron. Store in a clean sealed bag ( included in packaging).

Care as a bandana

Because of the deep rich blue of this artisanal hand dyed indigo, this piece will naturally age like denim, adding character.  We recommend washing three times before use to remove any excess indigo dye. Wash with cold water and a light detergent before line drying. Do not bleach.
