Description
the simplicity and purity of plant colors. The hand-dyed items are pieces from the unsold stock of former "Tivoli" collections, woven in France. Through this upcycling collaboration, they find a second life. The process of vegetable dyeing is long and meticulous. It starts with the washing of the fabrics in order to rid them of all impurities. Then comes the stage of mordanting which prepares the fiber to receive the vegetable dye, this stage is done with alum salt. Finally comes the dye bath, where fresh or dried and crushed plants are heated to 80 °. The dosage is established according to the intensity of the desired color and the weight of the fabric. The water color is obtained by a process of oxidation with indigo.
Irretrex : To limit the shrinkage of cotton in the wash, Le Jacquard Français applies the specific Irretrex treatment which minimizes the reactions of natural cotton fibers in the wash. Our cotton remains stable over time and our fabrics retain their proportions over time to give you complete satisfaction.
