Dark Indigo canvas is hand dyed by a family of textile artists in Western India. To reach the perfect shade of dark blue, the canvas is then hand-dipped into the natural indigo vat (bath) up to 20 times. A lot of labor yields a natural denim blue that fades as you wear it, revealing the texture of the fabric like a great pair of jeans. These bags have been pre-washed and are sewn with contrast stitching.
