Bai tie-dyeing is an important traditional skill in China, but due to complex historical reasons, this skill has gradually declined and is on the verge of extinction. This design is located in Zhoucheng, the birthplace of Bai tie dyeing. After studying the history of the local tie-dyeing industry and the existing business model, we designed a local market for tie-dyeing production, sales and exhibition.

Vegetable dyes

The traditional tie dyeing process uses vegetable dyes, mainly isatis roots (Indigo), and more than ten kinds of plant dyes such as Alder wood (red), Quercus acutissima nut shell (black), Crofton weed (yellow).

Compared with chemical dyes, vegetable dyes have natural colors, with a certain effect of cooling and anti-inflammatory, and do not stimulate human skin. It also clean and environmental friendly.

Chemical dyes

With the development of technology, chemical dyes have gradually appeared in the process of tie dyeing. People will use more than ten kinds of dyes, mainly direct dyes and acid dyes, for dyeing. Compared with vegetable dyes, chemical dyes are cheaper and easier to use, but they are accompanied by harmful substances that stimulate the skin. Clothes dyed with chemical dyes have the disadvantage of fading.
