Plant-Based Lake Pigments
₹400
Every time clothing is dyed, some of the dye doesn't adhere to the fabric. For conventional synthetic dyes, this means that between 50-70% of the dye ends up as wastewater that pollutes our waterways. While all our dyes are natural and plant-based, allowing us to use the extra dye water to irrigate our dye garden, we are always looking for a way to reuse our amazing plant-dyes to help lower our overall impact. Hence these plant-based lake pigments. We have extracted the remaining plant dyes from our dye vats and converted them to pigments for use in painting. These paint-based lake pigments can be added to oil (we recommend organic walnut oil) and mulled to make oil paints or used in traditional paint recipes to make watercolors or for screen printing. Each lake pigment is in a glass container with a natural cork lid, similar to containers historically used to transport lake pigments. Containers approx. 5 grams of pigment per container. Each lake pigment is handmade in Los Angeles.

Sustain By Kat
Sustain by Kat is a US brand that makes plant-dyed clothing and accessories from organic fibres for women and children. Its range includes tops, dresses, scarves, silk scrunchies, eye masks, napkins, dish towels, sewing thread and plant-based pigments. Some cotton is grown in colour and left undyed, and the brand pitches this to people with sensitive skin. The brand says its clothing contains no petroleum in either the fabrics or the dyes. It colours its fabrics with plants such as pomegranate, and it describes its fibres, thread, dyes and tags as natural. Good On You rates Sustain by Kat Good overall: Good for planet, It's a Start for people and Good for animals. It notes organic cotton, few fibre blends and recyclable packaging. It found no evidence of a Code of Conduct or living wages, though the brand has a statement on workers' rights and provides local jobs. Apart from silk, Good On You found no evidence that it uses animal products.
