Tie dye isn't just a trend – it's a timeless art form with roots dating back to 3000 BC. From ancient China to modern-day fashion runways, tie dye has transcended cultures and eras, captivating hearts with its vibrant hues and expressive designs.


The history of tie dye is as colorful as the patterns themselves. In China, tie dyed fabrics symbolized prestige, while Indian brides adorned Bandhani tie dyed sarees for their weddings. Alexander the Great even praised the "beautiful printed cottons" of India in 327 BC.


In the textile world, tie dye is a form of restrictive dyeing, where dye is selectively applied to create intricate patterns. At TAK Label, we celebrate the DIY spirit with our 100% Supima® Cotton T-shirts, perfect for custom tie dye creations. Supima® Cotton's superior color retention and uniformity make it an ideal canvas for vibrant tie dye designs.

But tie dye isn't just for tees – our 400gsm Organic Cotton hoodies, crewnecks, and sweatpants are also tie dye champions. Take inspiration from brands like Jiberish, who elevate their collections with unique ice dyeing techniques.

In the realm of fashion, tie dye has experienced a modern resurgence. Designers like Greg Chait of The Elder Statesmen and Zak Syroka have reimagined tie dye for the contemporary consumer, infusing heirloom-worthy craftsmanship into everyday pieces. Brands like Camp High have also embraced tie dye as a defining element of their aesthetic.
