Bluesville continues the tradition of respecting color by extracting it directly from nature. Creating a unique character of color that cannot be replicated by man made dye. Process that takes more time and efforts to do. Process that takes passion and understanding of harmony between natural factors. They make natural dye accessible to everybody by making it in more suitable and practical form for everyday wear. With inspiration from the world heritage of fine quality clothing, they use every aspect of their own native tradition. From batik to traditional hand woven fabric, they continue working with their best craftsmen from many central creative and traditional textile artisans in many places of Indonesia.
