Hand-Dyed Indigo Cotton Twist Turban for Women — Long (I) | Glinkowska

Turban sewn from second-hand cotton damask, hand-dyed with natural indigo. Lighter edges flow into the deep blue of the center, creating a one-of-a-kind pattern. The fabric is soft yet slightly thicker to the touch, so it is especially good for cooler days.

Thanks to the Twist construction with sewn-in, removable copper wires, you can shape and drape this turban freely in under a minute. Wear it as full head coverage, a statement headband, a retro bow or wrapped around a bun. Once shaped, it holds its form.

A story from my studio

This is the result of my new fascination: vat dyeing with natural indigo. It is a process that asks for patience and focus, but in return it allows extraordinary tonal transitions. What fascinates me most is the moment I see the mystique of chemical reactions with my own eyes.

Natural indigo also fascinates me for its antimicrobial properties. Laboratory research keeps discovering new ways to use it, including for the skin.

In this piece I decided to leave the edges lighter and dye the center more intensely. The result is one single, unrepeatable pattern.
