INDIGO LAB
All things indigo, Reimagined.
DYE. LASER. FABRIC MANIPULATION. EMROIDERY. UPCYCLING
With denim as the ultimate blank canvas, hands-on experimenting, and careful nurturing of the natural-indigo dye vat, indigo techniques are revived from ancient, and distant places. Folding, tying, ombre, and smocking bring new dimension. Colorful embroidery brings a touch of whimsy. Laser treatments bring a modern edge.
Give me any hue, as long as it’s blue
