Plant-based dyes
Every Charlie Darwin garment can be purchased in undyed (white), or hand-dyed using pigments from plants. This allows us to customize every garment down to the shade of blue, and the plant-based dyes are much better for the environment, too!

about Plant-based dyes
These dyes make our clothes different! Most clothing out in the world is dyed with synthetically manufactured dyes that cater to the masses, but the wastewater from synthetic dye operations can have a toxic effect on living beings and wide-spanning ecological implications. And on a personal level, our clothing spends lots of time rubbing up against our biggest organ, the skin, so we aren't taking any risks. These are reasons why Charlie Darwin has committed to coloring our clothes using pigments found in plants that are safe to get wrapped up in.
