What are Natural Dyes?
For thousands of years, dyes were obtained from natural sources, such as plants and animals. In spite of the fact that synthetic dyes have replaced many natural dyes for commercial use, natural dyes still hold a fascination and are used extensively by artisans around the world. The most common type of natural dyes is acid or anionic dyes used on eggshells and wool.

What we Use?
The authentic Pashmina Cashmere use only natural dyes such as metal and azo-free dyes. The fabric is processed using eco-friendly dyes, e.g. non-chlorine bleach, silicon-free softeners and low-impact, azo-free dyes.

How we Use it?
The dyestuffs are boiled in water to extract the dye. The material to be dyed is first "mordant" in the chosen metal salt, by heating in water with the mordant. Then it is transferred to the dye bath and again heated for a permanent, rich color.

Dyeing is also done by hand and each piece individually. Dyers with immense patience and generations of experience are the one who dye the cashmere Pashmina shawls, Cashmere stoles, cashmere mufflers, cashmere scarves, as even the smallest negligence reflects on the quality of the product.

Only metal and azo free dyes are used, making the shawls and other cashmere products completely eco-friendly. The pure water used for dying is pumped up from deep beneath the surface. Dyeing is done at a temperature just below boiling point for nearly an hour
