support natural dyes over synthetic dyes

Mission

The ever-evolving fashion trends of the 21st century are not only costing a high price to your wallet, but to your planet as well. Chemical-ridden synthetic dyes cause major negative consequences as the world's second-largest water polluter. In order to most dramatically reduce the harmful impacts of modern textile dyeing, companies must look to the past and replace synthetic dyes with natural pigments.

This project aims to spread the dangers of synthetic dyes and promote the benefits of ancient dyeing techniques through information displayed on naturally dyed shirts.
