Feeling Blue: Indigo Accents and Accessories
The history of indigo dye is arguably as rich as the pigment itself. Once a highly coveted luxury commodity, indigo was known as “blue gold” amongst ancient civilizations. With winter finally melting into spring, the color is having a distinctly modern moment. We can’t get enough of its celestial drama, reinterpreted to reflect and embody the evolving zeitgeist of contemporary style. For your shopping inspiration, we’ve created an edit of our favorite indigo products at DARA.
Malian artisan Aboubakar Fofana is the modern-day godfather of indigo dyeing. After studying traditional indigo production techniques for over three decades and on three continents, Fofana learned to replicate the ancient indigo cultivation practices. His stunning textiles in varying shades of blue create a pop of dramatic color in any interior setting.
