🏺 The Story Behind the Dye
The indigo — known locally as añil — is indigenous to El Salvador and was once used by the ancient Mayas. The plant is cut and placed in water to ferment, and the deep blue pigment that settles at the bottom is used to dye the cotton by hand. Until the 1800s, indigo was the only way to dye fabric blue, making it El Salvador's number one export. When synthetic dyes arrived, demand collapsed — and communities like this one paid the price. Choosing this scarf is a small act that helps revive that heritage.
