Blouse piece not included. About our Dyes + INDIGOTo those in the business of natural dyes, indigofera tinctoria [the source of the highly prized natural indigo dye] is the true crown jewel of the Indian subcontinent. Nomadic people all over the world and American cowboys - all those who can’t bathe often - favoured indigo dye because it is a natural antiseptic! At Malkha, we think that indigo dyed in the traditional way has eye-catching and mysterious carmine undertones. Our light indigo is dipped 3 times in the fermented vats, our dark indigo is dipped 8 times. About the Print + AJRAKHThe specialised printing technique of the Kutch region of Gujarat; the origins and meanings of Ajrakh are as diverse as they are romantic. Some say it means “keep it today”, others that it is the Arabic word for indigo.
