Experiments with Madder

Girish and the team at Mila factory, who make our underwear, have been saving any un-dyed items that might have had a few marks on, or had been misprinted, to be given a second life in a new glorious shade.

Mr Selvaraj, the local natural dyer to Mila factory, has just dyed a batch of our underwear using extract of madder. The plant's roots yield a red dye that has been widely used for thousands of years for dyeing cloth.

We will be bringing these naturally dyed limited edition range to the our upcoming events. If you would be interested in buying some of these unique madder dyed pieces but are unable to attend the events, please get in touch with us directly at info@project-pico.com .
