Bonham Botanic Dye Shorts Level 2 - Tea Gall Charcoal
Blending retro aesthetics with modern elements, the Bonham Shorts harmoniously combine an elongated drop crotch and a frayed hem. The incorporation of Cobrax snap buttons is added into the robust design for a touch of contemporary flair, while upholding its enduring and classic appeal.
The shorts' captivating tyrian charcoal-purple hue is achieved through a meticulous, multi-step dyeing process rooted in ancient techniques. The journey begins by immersing the fabric in a hot bath of Chinese Gall dye, allowing every thread to absorb the essence and establish a maroon foundation. Chinese Gall, refers to the gall nuts that form on Chinese sumac trees (Rhus Chinensis) in response to insect infestations. These gall nuts have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, ink-making, and textile dyeing. The trousers are then dipped into a hot black tea dye, where the combination of tannins from the tea leaves and the deep tones of the Chinese Gall creates a complex, alluring colour. To deepen the Tyrian purple shade, this process is repeated multiple times, with each immersion intensifying the rich, sophisticated hue.
