Plover Cove Botanic Dye Shirt Level 1 - Sophora Khaki
The Plover Cove Botanic Dye Shirt is a true testament to the boundless creativity and fearless expression of the Chinese immigrant workers from the early 20th century. Drawing inspiration from their iconic worker shirts, this garment effortlessly captures the essence of their indomitable spirit. Meticulously crafted with an impeccable eye for detail, it features faded hues, fabrics reminiscent of wear and tear, and intricate laced button styles that echo the very essence of their bygone era.
In our dyeing process, we harness the captivating power of Sophora Japonica, a revered herb in traditional Chinese medicine renowned for its stress resistance and antioxidant properties. With a rich legacy that spans the ages, Sophora Japonica has adorned fabrics with luminous yellow hues and fragrant shades, casting an irresistible spell of sublime allure. To achieve the coveted vintage khaki effect, we employ a meticulous dyeing technique. By infusing Sophora Japonica with mineral ions as a mordant, we unlock the fabric's potential to deeply absorb the dye. The result is a harmonious fusion of cultural heritage, meticulous craftsmanship, and captivating natural dyeing. It encapsulates the enduring spirit of the past while exuding timeless style and allure.
