Natural Amazonian Dyes

GUIZADORA “natural amazon dye” is an Amazónikas project through which we develop workshops and products that offer experiences with the colors of the Peruvian Amazon. With this proposal, we seek to promote the use of natural colors, highlighting the importance of restoring our ecosystem instead of continuing to pollute it.

This project was born from the dream of spreading the beautiful colors of the Peruvian Amazon and revaluing the dyeing practices of various communities. Each indigenous people has their knowledge of dye plants, whether for dyeing or medicinal use. I have found that over time these practices have remained alive because they are part of the daily life of each social group.

In the need to replace the pigments used in the current textile industry, we propose the use of garments dyed with natural dyes. Recognizing that these colors help protect our ecosystem, we recommend enjoying the natural color of each product, which we can acquire in specialized shops or by learning to dye them ourselves.
