Tote Bag

For the 2024 release, we decided on a nautical inspired colorway in shades of blue and black. These classic tote bags are made from thick 12oz cotton canvas, a great fabric material for natural dyes. Each bag is hand dyed using either indigo, tegeran wood or gallnut.

Natural Dye:

Natural dyeing is about celebrating the artistry of hand dyeing with plant extracts. Imperfections are part of its charm as the process is done entirely by hand and the outcome is often unique, so no two pieces are alike.

Designed, sewn and hand-dyed in Malaysia.

Note:

• Our natural dyes are made from tropical plant extracts.

• With regular wash & use, natural dye clothes will fade into a lighter shade of itself. Re-dye is possible.
• During the hand dyeing process, dye spots, uneven tones and dye streaks might appear on the fabric/product. This is common for natural dye products and is not a product defect.
