Wythe went to a small atelier in Japan that specializes in Indigo Discharge printing, which is very old and intricate process in which a fabric is dyed completely with indigo then the pattern or design is literally "removed" by a discharge printing process similar to a bleach. This leaves the design in the natural colour of the cotton and ensures that the design is clean on both sides of the bandana.
The "black indigo" colour undergoes an additional dye bath of a natural black colour after it has been dyed indigo. Once this colour has seen some use the black will start to fade and the indigo dye will shine through. These are bandanas that will continuously look better and better with use, so dont be afraid to throw them in the wash and use them for anything and everything.
