Advice from Inès de la Fressange

“unique pieces (...) it’s quite exhilarating.” These are the words from La Lettre d’Ines (Ines’ Newsletter) that invite us to discover her passion for Haute Couture dyeing...to our delight! Every Thursday, she reveals her tips, her wanderings, her favourites and her secrets. In April, we discovered her love of dyeing with our KHAKI colour.

"Are you sick of some of your clothes? Would you like something new? Are you against unbridled consumerism? Are you broke? There’s a solution: dye! I found this box and three things appealed to me:

- Haute couture
- A French company, since 1949
- Khaki 

And there you go! In 3 minutes, I found a few items of clothing that had lost their magic and, with a few turns of the drum, they were given a new lease of life.

In addition, with this dye, there’s no need to add salt or other ingredients, it dyes cotton, linen, silk, viscose or jute equally well. I strongly advise not to overload the washing machine, but in any case the outcome is always a surprise and it's quite cheerful. "

BEFORE/AFTER...KHAKI STYLE

We couldn't recommend a better way to renew your wardrobe! A new look, sharp and in tune with your seasonal desires, it's really within reach and easy to create in your own washing machine.

We were particularly touched by Inès de la Fressange's passion for our KHAKI fabric dye. A true icon of fashion and French Haute Couture, we are truly grateful to her and we hope that she will also give you lots of ideas to give your own clothes a new look or refresh your classics: old shirts, old cotton scarves, old jeans, Bermuda shorts, cotton or denim skirts, linen shirts, dresses, shorts and trousers... Treat yourself to our 28 textile dye colours!

And if not....
You can also give your household linen a makeover if you feel like it! Decor can also take on a new life thanks to textile dye. From your napkins, to your tablecloths, cushion covers and curtains... anything goes, on one condition: your fabrics must be cotton, linen, silk or viscose.
So let your imagination run wild and the power of textile dye will do the rest!
