Indigo Dye: Learning the significance of this natural dye
Apr . 16, 2024
Indigo dye is a natural dye that is extracted from plants and animals.

It is one of the oldest dyes in existence and has been used for many centuries in ancient India, China and Japan, for dying and printing textiles. India, which was the main producer of Indigo, exported the dye to Europe and the Mediterranean region through Portuguese and Arab traders.

In most west African cultures, indigo was used to dye garments worn by wealthy people to symbolise their status.
