Add a touch of uniqueness to your clothes with our natural logwood bark dye bath, which offers deep purple-blue tones and intricate patterns as you can see in the pictures. This unique technique is perfect for transforming washed-out or plain textiles into works of art that delight both the eye and the eco-conscious heart.
Our logwood dyeing process uses the natural properties of the wood to dye every fiber of your clothing sustainably and gently.
NOTE: Only suitable for natural fibers. This includes cotton, hemp, silk, bamboo, linen and Tencel. We do not currently process wool.
How does it work?
Put the type of clothing you want to dye in your shopping cart and complete your purchase. If you do not find an item in the list or it is a larger order, please email us (simon@cosmaki.com). If you want batch dyeing, we charge by weight ( Per kilogram = 65€ ).
Send us your clothes along with your name, address and order number. Tracking is recommended but not required.
Once received, we begin the dyeing process, which can take up to three weeks.
Once your garments are dyed and finished, we'll send them back to you so you can use them again!

Care instructions:
Please use a pH neutral soap for your items and wash them on a gentle cycle. If possible, hand washing is better. Please be sure to avoid acids such as soda and white wine as these can bleach the color. Natural dyes can fade with excessive exposure to sunlight.
Advantages:
Re-dyeing textiles offers a number of benefits, both for the individual and for the environment. Here are some of the key benefits:
-
Environmental Protection :
- Conservation of resources : Instead of constantly buying new items of clothing, existing items of clothing can be refreshed by re-dyeing. This reduces the need for resources to produce new textiles.
- Waste reduction : Re-dyeing can extend the life of textiles, meaning fewer textiles end up in landfills.
-
Cost savings : Instead of buying a new garment because the color has faded or because you want a color change, you can simply re-dye the existing garment. This is often more cost-effective.
-
Individuality : Re-dyeing allows you to personalize clothes and create unique color combinations or patterns that are not commercially available.
-
Care and maintenance : Sometimes stains or discolorations can be covered or reduced by re-dyeing, giving a garment a new life.
-
Fashion and trends : Re-dyeing allows you to adapt older garments to current fashion trends without having to buy new clothes.
-
Emotional attachment : Often there are items of clothing that have a special emotional meaning. When such pieces fade or discolor, re-dyeing can help preserve them and allow them to continue to be worn.
-
Sustainability : In general, re-dyeing textiles promotes a more sustainable lifestyle as it reduces consumption and extends the useful life of products.
In summary, re-dyeing textiles can offer both ecological and economic benefits and help reduce consumption and promote a more conscious use of clothing.
