Discovered in China more than 5,000 years ago, this dyeing process is very appealing to the Officine.

Madder has thus developed as an important commodity in European and Asian economies. It was mentioned in the list of plants recommended for cultivation in royal gardens in the year 812 and by Colbert, who tried to stimulate a quality French dyeing industry. In the 19th century, there were over 13,000 hectares of madder fields in the Vaucluse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe old rose on the knitted gloves is obtained by a bath composed of 100%madder root. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColours: natural green \u003cbr\u003eOrigin: nettle (herbaceous plant) \u003cbr\u003eSource of pigment: leaves \u003cbr\u003eUrtica dioica L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly known as common nettle, stinging nettle or burn nettle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally native to Eurasia, nettle is a plant now found in temperate zones across the world. The silky and shiny finest fibres of this plant were reserved for the royal courts, the less fine fibres for clothing and bed linen, while the coarse fibres were used to make ropes, bags and carpets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all green plant leaves, nettle leaves contain chlorophylls a and b which help give this green colour to the natural fibres.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNettle leaf dyeing is not as famous as madder dyeing. It is more related to vernacular, local practices of gathering wild plants and individual recipes for dyeing personal effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColours: earthy brown \u003cbr\u003eOrigin: acacia (shrub) \u003cbr\u003eSource of pigment: wood \u003cbr\u003eSenegalia catechu  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly known as cutch tree, black cutch, cachou or terra japonica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catechu acacia is a small thorny tropical tree with fern-like leaves, native to Southeast Asia.

Cachou produces beautiful browns on cotton, a brown that has been coveted for centuries for calico fabric - originating from the city of Calicut on the west coast of India. The light brown colour produced by cachou is called “khak” or “khaki” in India and means “dust, earth or ashes”. In Myanmar, cachou was virtually the only source of vegetable dye, used to make the yellow-brown robes of Buddhist monks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brown of the knitted gloves is obtained with catechu gum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGREAT BENEFITS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis immensely comforting small knitted glove is perfect for cleansing the face and raising the spirits.
