Azure is a special textile made by an indigenous Chinese ethnic group ~ the Dong people ~ in Guizhou, China. The Dong grow and weave their own cotton, dye it with Indigo and a vegetable yam called Shu Liang, coat it in egg whites, and beat it with mallets. This is why this textile has a leather-like sheen, though it is 100% cotton. This is a very exclusive textile that is soft, durable, and will age beautifully. A triumphant emblem of cultural heritage. 

  • Azure is 100% cotton. Dyed with indigo, vegetable yam, and egg whites
  • Multi-functional

All discoloration, spots and idiosyncrasies are from the natural dyeing process and make each item unique. 

Handmade in small quantities in Los Angeles.

Our silk is naturally anti-microbial and very durable: you can wear it many times before washing. But when it's time, hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Hang to dry. Steam to remove any wrinkles. If ironing, iron on low heat.
