Indigo workwear
Workwear jacket and trouser in soft cotton fabric that is hand woven and dyed in natural indigo in Guizhou, south west China. The Dong people, one of China’s ethnic minority groups of this region, are known for their ancient weaving and dying practices. The whole process of creating this fabric is completed in the traditional Dong technique in their village. The raw cotton is spun, woven in their traditional chevron pattern and dyed by hand using indigo plants that are locally grown and fermented for dyes. The garments are made bespoke by a tailor in Shanghai, making each piece totally unique.
