100% Natural Dyes

The dyes used to color our hemp are 100% natural , made from plants and natural mordants. Opting for vegetable dyes was obvious in order to reduce our environmental impact but also to respect the health of the artisans and yours.

An ecological process

Natural dyeing is an ecological process with considerable benefits for people and the planet. The colors are obtained through the extraction of plants. We use pomegranate, turmeric, marigold, onion skins and pomegranate peels for our collection.

The primary concern at Himalayan Trooper was to use pure and renewable resources that the Earth can provide us.

An alternative to chemical dyes

Nowadays, companies favor chemical dyes , 10 to 100 times more profitable, these are harmful both for the environment and for us! Have you heard of azos, heavy metals and other substances present in current chemical dyes? They are the cause of many diseases such as cancer, eczema, asthma… & are found in our clothes & on our skin every day.

Unique dyes

Who says natural element, says wild and unpredictable.

The components we work with are all of natural origin and come from various Indian regions. From harvest to harvest, their pigment concentration varies . Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to reproduce exactly the same color shades from one product to another.

Rest assured, these shades remain representative of the colors displayed in the product photos.

Your bag/accessory will be truly unique !

Stages of Dyeing

  1. The fabric is first soaked in boiling water before coloring, in order to remove any possible impurities (dust for example).
  2. The dyes are then boiled three to four times to extract the color.
  3. They are filtered before mixing them with the hemp fabric (cut of approximately 2.5 meters per tank).
  4. Different minerals are added to obtain and fix the desired color.
  5. The fabric is put in a special machine for semi-drying, then dried flat in the open air.
  6. Finally, a quality check is carried out before sending it to Local Artisans.
