Sanganeri prints all are made with natural dyes

Natural along with natural fabric, for the skin. They do a job of improving the human body’aura. Natural dyes are used on fabrics. Natural dyes are the extracted from plants and minerals. Many of the natural dyes medicinal as they are extracted herbs, which have an endless list therapeutic benefits.

Vegetable dyeing and printing

Vegetable dyeing and printing has been developed without using any harmful synthetic/chemical product for dying & printing processing of a textile product at any stage with a sole aim to avoid these synthetic/chemical products that not only disturb our ecology the Mother Nature but also harmful for us. This is a perfect combination of ancient wisdom and the latest present time technologies available to we human beings. For that matter we only use Natural Dyes, especially herbs with their known traditional medicinal properties with the help of latest machinery applications for overcoming all the limitations attached to the Natural Dyes (such as Harad, Manjith, Anar Chilka, Tesu, Katha, Indigo Neem , Babool , Annatto, Turmeric, Patang, Red sandal wood e.t.c.),the rich tradition of natural dyes was gradually lost in 1856 Sir William Perkin discovered the first synthetic colouring: malvein. Synthetic dyes were simpler and less costly to produce,

Vegetable dyes are pioneer craft, one of its dye indigo was found almost 7000 years ago which become cool in summer and hot in winter and also made fabric with soothing smell.

Vegetable dyes are biodegradable dyes they are harmless unlike chemical dyes. This age-old process requires a particular attitude and special skills.

Vegetable dyes are colours that ARE MADE BY MAN FROM ALL THE ECO FRIENDLY FRUITS FLOWERS FOOD STUFF, THAT MOTHER NATURE AND THE SUN GOD HAVE CREATED IN ABUNDANCE FOR USE BY MANKIND.

These are non-harmful to human beings, and many of them are found in ayurvedic medicine recipes, another ancient tradition. Therefore it is possible to say that these materials used in the dyeing process have beneficial effects.

For example, the tannin used as a mordant is a powerful antiseptic; the turmeric revitalises the skin; and the indigo (Indigofera tinctoria) yields a cooling sensation and is relaxing. Water used is stored after each step of the dyeing process and recycled for agricultural use.

The Colours of Nature intends to take a holistic approach to the use of natural dyes, integrating all aspects of the process. From archaeological discoveries we know for certain that civilisations of Central Asia, China and South America were using dyes of organic origin 5,000 years ago. For many centuries an important sector of world agricultural production was dedicated to the provision of raw materials for this industry.

The awareness of Natural/Organic products is on the all time high as of today in the International market. This technology will add distinctive new dimensions to our sick textile units as the way we have perceived this technology; this can blend beautifully with all kinds of natural textile products. We are already getting amazing response from our International contacts in this context.

Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO

Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO in Sanganer jaipur rajasthan india that for 14 years has worked in the economic development of the surrounding rural area as well as the continued survival and competitiveness of hand-made textiles. It is supported by 13 members and run by 3 officers. All of these are members of the local textile business community and help to financially support the NGO. The organization sees traditional textile manufacturing methods as under threat, and is working to save the mand provide livelihood to the local area at the same time. This is done through providing a common front for some members of the local textile community and the organization and support of 12 self-help groups(SHGs) set up in villages around Sanganer. These groups have been taught to do hand work on textiles and sell them to the local textile distributors. The NGO also makes connections between these labor forces and textile distributors, and connections between the distributors them selves with the goal of helping all. It was founded by its current secretary Brij Ballabh Udaiwal, who also owns a local textile distributor,Shilpi House of Textiles. This brings a certain business aspect to the NGO and its goals, although the NGO itself, however, cannot officially give financial support to the workers because of its status as a non-profit organization. Instead it organizes the groups and connects them to buyers, or Brij buys the textiles through Shilpi House of Textiles. Shilpi Sansthan’s SHGs are made up entirely of women from the local farming communities who have come to Brij in order to start SHGs to create additional income. They receive training and support to do handwork on textiles and sell them to local distributors. The training period of each one of these groups lasts three years, during which time Brij buys the textiles himself though his business or finds other buyers. After this period it is the SHG’s own responsibility to find buyers and to get their fabric. Each SHG has their own officers who run the group on day-by-day basis, and are trained to handle most of the marketing and buying. Even after the training period, Shilpi Sansthan also provides them with access to insurance at reduced premiums (partially paid for by Shilpi Sansthan) and helps them in dealing with banks. Since farming does not always offer security in Rajasthan, the women’s involvement with the SHGs provides some security in their livelihood.

Exports Potential / Foreign Revenue Generation
The awareness and acceptability of Natural / Organic products have increased manifold in the recent past and still growing tremendously especially in the developed countries. This kind of consumer products not only have great acknowledgement but also command premium price. For that matter we have got a very positive feedback from countries like U.S.A., GERMANY & JAPAN. There are so many chain stores, which deal only in these kinds of products.
