Natural colors Natural dyeing is the oldest dyeing method known to man and used until the advent of the industrial revolution. Unlike modern industrial methods, this process is carried out using only completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly plant substances, such as pomegranate peel, catechu, walnut husk, madder root and reseda. An artifact dyed with natural dyes is a unique and inimitable piece. Since the dye is derived from non-synthetic but plant-based substances, the nuances will change depending on the degree of ripeness of the plant, the year of harvest and multiple factors dependent on the organic characteristics of the dyes. A shoe dyed by this method is something alive, respecting the health of the wearer and changing over time depending on how we use it, taking on a vintage look that makes it more beautiful than when we bought it.
