Please note when your order a sample you will receive a wash and unwashed sample. Our denims change a lot when washed as starch washes out and colour intensifies. Please take this into account when viewing photos and ordering.
Please note that we have added a short clip of the colour to show it can change in different lights and how the fabric moves. If you are still unsure about the colour please order a swatch.
Quality information:
Rope dyed denim is recognised as the highest quality denim dyeing technique. This is due to the high level of colour uniformity and the rich colour that is achieved. Other dying methods such as slasher dyeing where the yarn is soaked in indigo baths, will not produce an even and consistent colour shade throughout the width and length.
Rope dyed denim is created by taking the cotton thread and twisting into a rope. The rope is then shortly and repeatedly dipped into indigo resulting in a dyed surface while the core remains a cotton colour. This process of dipping the yarn could be repeated up to 12 times, until desired colour. The ‘ring dyed’ yarns fades faster than yarn that are completely soaked with indigo, creating the denim look.
All our rope dyed denim in made in Indonesia with Japanese machinery and technology. As it is dyed with indigo dye the denim will need to be washed separately first before use. In the first wash, colour will run from the fabric but the indigo will intensify. The fabric will also soften, as it will wash away the starch that has been applied during production.

Introducing
Honey - Hemp/Tencel
Honey is a floaty light weight fabric with a beautiful drape. The Tencel content is what gives it this drape. This cloth also has a really nice surface texture and when machine wash it appears even more.
