About the Artist

Shengzhu uses natural indigo plants to dye the fabric with 100% cotton, soy paste resists to create patterns. Shengzhu started her indigo dye journey when she was a child, has over 30 years of experience in natural plant dyeing, and invented two-tone blue method in the indigo dyeing field, which combined light and navy blue, a very modern looking. Her daughter Phoenix started to put her passion into it when she was 16 last year. Based on natural dyeing, She added many geometric designs, giving traditional patterns a new life, we developed many new designs with modern styles. All our work is hand-dyed and handmade in Connecticut.
