This shawl was manually dyed in the ecological atelier of natural dyeing TINCTA-HERBAE in the valley of river Bečva among the hills of Vsetin. Indigo dyeing process needs “indigo vat”. In the atelier TINCTA-HERBAE “the ecological indigo vat” based on fructose is used.

Pigment of indigo used for dyeing comes from South of France, where the green leaves of Persicaria tinctorum are cultivated biologically and transformed in the same place.
