Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Legrand] uses her book to tell the story of our emotional attachment to garments and deep connection to color and craft."
― Home Design with Kevin Sharkey, marthastewart.com

"Legrand . . . writes with enthusiasm about the history of this shade and its evolution."
― Women's Wear Daily

"A sumptuous new book."
― House Beautiful

"Diverse images of people at work convey the enormous range of conditions in which indigo dyeing takes place."
― Surface Design Journal

"A visual feast of 550 images offers textile details, proud locals wearing their garments, and process shots illustrating how the dyeing is done."
― Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot

"This sumptuous book can be appreciated on all levels: a history of the production and trade of dyes and textiles; an anthropology of textile production; and a stunning visual catalog of the international production of cloth colored with the blue dye, indigotin."
― The Art Blog
