Dye

Loquat: Eriobotrya japonica, commonly known as loquat and obtained from the leaves of the trees in the Son Moragues orchard.

Acorn: Quercus Ilex or holm oak, obtained from the acorn caps of the trees in the estate's forests.

Indigo: Indigofera tinctoria, also known as indigo.

Note: Natural dyes can be very sensitive when in contact with substances with a high pH, such as a drop of lemon or vinegar. This might cause a permanent stain. If this ever happens, we recommend you follow our motto and "embrace the stain!"
