More about textile dyeing

Dating back to more than 5000 years, textile dyeing is one of the most primitive forms of art known to mankind.

Ancient civilisations discovered that there were many unique ways to give colour to the cloth... they started dipping, painting, and stamping their clothes with natural dyes to make beautiful patterned outfits.

Industrial revolution mechanised this process and we started synthesizing colours from chemicals. Today, thousands of years later, the textile industry has become the major source of pollution throughout the world.

Dyeing and washing with these synthetic colours account for a huge chunk of this pollution.
