Lockhart Botanic Dye Hoodie Level 2- Sophora Forest
Delving into the realm of ancient botanical wonders, we discover Sophora Japonica, a nomad from the land of China. It is one of the esteemed 50 fundamental herbs revered in traditional Chinese medicine, known for its resilience to stress and embrace of antioxidant properties. However, it is the flower itself that captivates our senses. Within its delicate petals reside hydrolysable plant polyphenols, enchanting pigments that effortlessly intertwine with mineral ions, breathing life into fibres through the art of dyeing. Sophora Japonica stands as a testament to its timeless legacy, adorning fabrics since antiquity, unveiling luminous yellow hues and fragrant shades that enchant the senses.
In the first stage, they immerse themselves in a rested indigo solution, eagerly absorbing its dye. Once it reaches full oxidation, a thorough rinse is applied. The garments are then treated to the infusion of Sophora Japonica dye. Once the dye has completed its transformative journey, a lush forest-like green hue emerges, infusing the garments with a natural vintage look.
