Did you know… The blue ink in your jeans traces its roots back to Africa? Long before denim became a global staple, West African artisans were dyeing textiles with natural indigo, a deep, sacred blue extracted from local plants. These early indigo traditions shaped the foundation for what we now recognize as denim culture. Every pair of jeans carries echoes of that legacy, a story of craftsmanship, resilience, and the enduring influence of African artistry on modern life.
