We love Indigo Mood, Marvic Textiles' Fall 2011 introduction of stone-washed cotton block prints, stripes and solids, inspired by 19th century print design and stripe documents from Alsace Lorraine in France.
"This collection is designed to tap into a younger, more casual market," said Bridget Collins, Marvic’s Senior Designer. "With its ethnic influence, and vintage origins, 'Indigo Mood' refers to the ‘hand-made’ origins of the print design, but also the influence of natural dyes, block prints, and the simplicity of the collection as a whole."
According to Bridget, indigo is one of the oldest and most widely used dyestuffs. Derived from the root of the indigo plant, it has been used for centuries to give a natural, durable blue. Its popular use in French printed fabrics of the 19th century rendered the most universal fabric, denim - or literally ‘de Nîmes’, from Nîmes in Provence.
