LuRu Home works with ar-tisans along China’s east-ern seaboard to produce indigo hand-dyed textiles.
Chinese have practiced Nankeen hand-dying, a sibling of Japanese Shibori, for over 3,000 years. The process remains largely preserved despite the in-dustrialization of the textile market.
Local artisans apply a soybean-rice paste to cotton through hand-cut screens. After an extended period of shade drying, craftsmen dip the cloth repeatedly into indigo baths. Upon oxidation the fabric gains a vibrant blue, and is set to dry in the sun. Artisans scrape the soy-rice paste carefully away by knife, and LuRu Home reworks the fabrics into wares.
