This dyeing process creates an uneven color effect, and this is its peculiarity, giving the object a used and vintage look. Natural colors Natural dyeing is the oldest dyeing method known to man and was used until the advent of the Industrial Revolution.Unlike modern industrial methods, this process is performed using only completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly plant-based substances, such as pomegranate peel, catechu, walnut husk, madder root, and mignonette, which create different effects and colors based on the given steps.An item dyed with natural dyes is a unique and inimitable piece. Since the dye is derived from plant-based, not synthetic, substances, the shades will change depending on the degree of ripenessof the plant, the harvest year, and multiple factors dependent on the organic characteristics of the dyes.A shoe dyed with this method is a living thing, respectful of the health of the wearer and which changes over time depending on how we use it, taking on a vintage appearance that makes it more beautiful than when we bought it.
