Each Indigo dyed fabric made at Kofar Mata Dye pits have passed several hands before the final product has been reached. The intricate designs are tied and woven by women at home, then dyed by men at the historical dye pits.
The Three Basket design symbolises wealth, education and power. The design consists of three focal spirals with a number of circles above.
Due to all fabrics being hand tied and hand dyed, there may be slight variation between batches and patterns.

Fabric Care
With freshly dyed indigo, there will be a "rub off" of excess indigo, leaving your hands blue.
After the initial wash the colour transfer will be minimal as the indigo has been fixed during a process at the dye pits.
Over a period of time, indigo will fade similar to dark denim.
