The conscious artists at Tarum Natural Dye use resources extracted from sustainably harvested farms/habitats in the creation of the dyes; some from their own sustainable farms and others brought in from Java. Most of these colors must be dyed and then natural dried 7-15 times, up to 24 times for indigo, to reach the desired hue.  After being bathed and dried for a good length of time, theys are left very soft to the touch.

One size fits most. 100% organic cotton jersey dyed with organic, sustainable indigo dye.
Indigo blue comes from many plants, though this one from the Indigofera plant harvested in Java. This is the oldest dye know to man, dating back to expensive robes in the Roman times. 


 100% organic cotton jersey with organic dyes. The red comes from sustainably harvested leaves from Morinda trees in Java and the yellow from Mango in Bali, which also produces orange colors.
