Making of Mangrove Natural Dye Product

These are the daily production process, excluding the time for designing, prototyping, functional testing, and material sourcing, to be honest, the value of our design items are considerably much higher than the prices we can set. In today’s industrial and fast fashion era, there is always a big gap between the true value of natural handmade designs and the prices they can fetch. That said, why are we still pursuing this seemingly under rated craft? Simply because we want to do the right thing.

 

Every year, there are more than 200,000 tons of chemical toxic waste from the industrial fabric dye industry, what we wish to do is to in our small way, help catalist the popularity of natural dye, to provide a little alternative to the world. At Xiapism, our colour comes from truly plant base recourses, water, plus a lot of salt, it is totally chemical free, and we go to the extra miles to make sure all our materials are as pure as possible, no polyester is used, no traces of plastics, minimizing any harmful effect to the environment for years to come.

 

We do not own the earth, we are part of the earth. Do support natural dye. May the beauty of the planet earth continues to be beautiful.

製作紅樹自然染包包的工序過程。

1）跟炭窯拿樹皮

2）清洗樹皮

3）用一個月時間浸泡製做染料

4）染布過程需要三到五天

5）把染好的布手工製作成各種產品。

 

這製作工序也還只是日常生產缐，還沒算進設計和製造樣本的時間。我們產品的價值肯定遠高於它的價格。在這工業社會中，自然手作品的價值與價格似乎有很大的落差。既然如此為何我們還堅持呢？只因為我們堅持做對的事。

 

每年的化學染布工業排放二十萬噸的有毒物質。我們想為這環境付出一點點心力，提供另一種選擇。Xiapism 樹皮色的染料純粹用紅樹樹皮加鹽浸泡，没有任何人工化學物質。每件產品也盡可能採用純天然可化解的材質，盡可能的不對地球造成任何傷害。

 

我們不擁有這地球，我們只是地球的一部分。支持自然染，讓美麗的地球能繼續的美麗。
