Botanical Dyes 2.0
We have expanded our bestselling Botanical Dye collection with 5 new, bright but natural colors. The collection consists of 5 shades: Rubia® Mauve, Rubia® Red, Nimbus® Pink, Nimbus® Purple and Leafy Green.
The Botanical Dyes
Botanical Dyes extracted from nature are much safer for the environment, as they reduce the amount of harsh chemicals and colorants that would otherwise enter into the planet’s water streams.
For these new colors, we used natural dyes derived from food waste, plants, fruits and vegetables to achieve the richly hued tones of the fabrics. Each one originates from Mother Nature...
PANGAIA Rubia® Mauve & Red Botanical Dye
The Botanical colors are sustainably derived, renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic. We used a low-water garment dyeing method, so the resulting wastewater is also non-toxic. The use of natural dyes obtained from renewable resources like plants, fruits and vegetables avoid the use of petrochemicals and synthetic, chemical dyes and as a result, preserve the all-endangered environment for future generations.
Materials
Our T-shirts are made from a combination of saltwater seaweed fiber and organic cotton. They are treated with natural peppermint oil to keep them fresher for longer, helping to reduce water waste by up to 3000 liters over its lifetime. *compared to a regular t-shirt.
Where most other brands use around 10-30% recycled cotton, our Hoodies and Track Pants use a higher 45%, mixed with 55% organic cotton. This is one of the highest grades of recycled cotton currently available on the market. We also chose organic cotton where most companies still use recycled polyester — a critical pollutant due to microplastics.
