The natural indigo dye is got from plant extracts. The process of using indigo to get brilliant shades of blue originates in India and has largely remained unchanged for close to 4000 years. It was made famous by Levi Strauss some 150 years back when he created his first pair of workwear blue jeans in 1873. This traditional process and the brilliant color it produces is alive in Pondicherry. See the process first-hand and revel in the glorious blues it can bring to life.
