These dyes can help transform the way colorants are used in everyday products and encourage the shift towards a more responsible system of production and consumption. The natural dyes that are used, are created from food waste and natural resources. Plants, fruits and vegetables help to achieve rich hues and beautiful tones. Textiles are dyed in a way which uses less water, are non-toxic and biodegradable.
