From the time of the ancient Egyptians it made an incredible impact worldwide as the world's only source of blue of every hue, and was also indispensable for creating a glorious range of colours when combined with other natural dyes. It is hard to imagine the incredible impact indigo must have made on the many civilizations that chanced upon it. This classic study, reissued with a new final chapter, examines this extraordinary dye from all angles: the historical, agricultural and botanical origins of the different plant sources; different production and dyeing methods; commerce and economics; various patterning techniques used on a wide range of beautiful textiles; indigo's continued presence in folklore, art and alternative medicine; and its iconic status as the dye that makes blue jeans blue. The accumulation of over twenty years research on the subject, Indigo: Egyptian Mummies to Blue Jeans is the richly told story of a commodity that has been central to international trade and textile production for centuries, across time and cultures. Richly illustrated throughout with stunning details and scenes from around the world, this is the definitive study of the fascinating dye behind blue denim. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 23.8 x 20.8 x 2.7 cm | | Edition | Second revised edition | | Importer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Isbn 10 | 0500294143 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0500294147 | | Item Weight | 1 kg 50 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Print Length | 320 pages | | Publication Date | 1 January 2018 | | Publisher | Thames and Hudson Ltd | ## Images ![Fashion Designer's Textile Directory: The Creative Use of Fabrics in Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oLWFxcGDL.jpg) ![Fashion Designer's Textile Directory: The Creative Use of Fabrics in Design - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W52KPPuUL.jpg) ![Fashion Designer's Textile Directory: The Creative Use of Fabrics in Design - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611izFOF+XL.jpg) ![Fashion Designer's Textile Directory: The Creative Use of Fabrics in Design - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VFqYjQnbL.jpg) ![Fashion Designer's Textile Directory: The Creative Use of Fabrics in Design - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GsqYmhZFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great information about fabrics but this book does not have fabric swatches *by on Reviewed in India 7 November 2021* For the price i understand it does not have swatches ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book *by on Reviewed in Australia 3 September 2023* Very happy with the book, I will get a lot of use out of this.
