Indigo is one of the oldest natural dyes in the world — a deep blue extracted from the Indigofera plant and fixed into cloth through a fermentation vat process. Unlike synthetic dyes, every indigo piece is slightly different: the color shifts with each dip, each piece of fabric, each maker's hand. The result is alive in a way factory dye never is.
The Gullah Geechee are descendants of enslaved West and Central Africans brought to the Sea Islands of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida — many specifically for their knowledge of indigo cultivation. They kept the craft, the language, and the culture alive for centuries. Indigo grown in the Low Country once supplied the entire British Empire. The knowledge that made it possible belongs to this community.
