Indigo Blouses, Kurtas & Sarees

Indigo is a fermented dye rather than a pigment — cloth comes out of the vat green and turns blue in the air. The colour builds in layers, so the depth of a piece depends on how many times it was dipped, and it softens with washing instead of fading flat.

Here as hand block print, stripe and resist work: indigo blouses and indigo blue blouses cut to contrast against a plain saree, indigo kurtas, and indigo sarees.
