WHEN DENIM GOES SPIRITUAL – TURMERIC DENIM










In recent years the usage of natural dyes has witnessed its revival.The natural dyes are eco-friendly, harmless and non-toxic in nature.

Turmeric plays an important role in yore old great Indian Tradition, as an antiseptic agent to protect their immunities.

Be it using in all dishes of Vegetables, Sambar or
applying turmeric to the bride and groom or
In festivals – like Khandobha (Sonyachi Jejuri).

What we may not know is turmeric has been used as a fabric dye for hundreds of years.

Not only yellow color is produced through dyeing with turmeric dyeing but many other colors are produced when turmeric dye is mixed with other colors, like orange, green, blue color with addition of indigo and red color with addition of kusum flowers and mango rind.

We might think how both red and yellow colors are produced through turmeric dye in its original form, the answer lies in the type of liquid used for concentration. When the solution is prepared in acidic liquid it would produce yellow dye and when alkali liquid is used it would produce red dye.

The challenge of creating the ideal jeans is never-ending. Thanks to antiseptic nature, Turmeric Denim, may offer a new R&;amp;amp;amp;D Avenue.
