VEG

Our founder Tim Oulton had a lifelong passion for traditional handcraftsmanship and natural materials, and the idea of the naturally dyed linens had been in his mind since early 2010’s.

In a quest to learn more about the ancient craft of Indigo dyeing he made the journey to a remote Dong village in the mountains of rural China, and experienced the ancient techniques first-hand that the villagers have been using for generations. He spent time with a family of weavers, who spend days weaving the linen by hand and then dye it using natural Indigo that grows in the mountains.

All the natural Indigo is extracted from Indigo plants that are grown up the mountains of rural China and in the remote surrounding villages and we have progressed to industralise the process and come up with a commercial range of Vegetable Dyed fabrics that are produced in scale with great hand feel, light & rub fastness and overall quality and colour consistency.
