Fabric and Garment Highlights:
- Tonal men’s and women’s looks featuring natural dyes made from North Carolina sourced black walnut hulls and marigolds. Choosing dyes made from plant waste reduces the use of chemicals in the dyeing process.
- Textural cable knit hoodie and skirt set, featuring a lower-input blotch resist print dye technique, which achieves a unique appearance while eliminating the need for chemical bleaches.
- Highly textured cardigan and skirt set dyed with environmentally conscious reactive dyes, which help reduce water use and energy consumption compared to conventional reactive dyes.
- Contemporary pointelle sweater and pleated pant women’s look dyed with mineral pigment dyes, which offer bright shade choices while using less energy, allowing pigments to be reused, and improving colorfastness compared to other natural dyes.
- Printed denim men’s cargo pant and hoodie lend a streetwear-inspired vibe to EarthColors cotton-based dyes.
