TEXTILE DETAILS: WE THINK THE DYES USED IN THIS PILLOW ARE 100% natural vegetable dyes. THE TWO SHADES OF PURPLE USED IN THE TEXTILE GROUND AND THE LAVENDER STRIPES INDICATE  STEEPING IN BOTH INDIGO AND MORINDA DYE, FOR DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF TIME.  THE SPRING GREEN STRIPES ARE CREATED WITH A concoction of indigo, mango tree bark and jackfruit wood {OR IT MIGHT JUST BE A SYNTHETIC THREAD…GASP – BUT WE DON’T THINK SO, IT’S A NICE SOFT SLIGHTLY FADED LIGHT GREEN}. THE ECRU SHADE OCCURS WHERE THE wrapped pandan leaves prevent the dye from entering the threads.
