Citron, a lemony dyelot for long warm days ahead.

I will be honest, y'all get weird when we launch yellows. The least purchased dyelots are always our yellows. This green/yellow has been a favorite since we launched it a year ago, and relaunched during our bi-annual full color relaunch.

Deep Space is back for our May Dyelots!

First dyed with indigo, then mordanted and over dyed with madder root for a deep purple blue. We were inspired by french workwear when picking this color, first launched in October of 2024.

This color (along with Citron and Clay) will be available through

April FAQ pt 3 // I have a cashmere sweater. Is this something you can dye without damaging? Would this be colorfast, resistant to fading?

Yes, we dye cashmere! We always dye cashmere and wool garments by hand, rather than in our dye machines. This reduces the agitation that garments experience dur

April FAQ // Can I send you something that is cotton poplin, hand dry only?

Yes! Note that cotton that has been washed may shrink slightly when dyed. That said, we are happy to hang dry delicate garments. When you check out, be sure to note in the ‘garment description’ pop-up window.

Time flies. Two years ago Green Matters was invited out west to host a pop-up dye event at a concert Salt Lake City. Post-workshop, Bixa + Winona took advantage of their time out west to kiki in the sage brush on the way to the Grand Tetons. Dressed in Sage and Indigo, we took some photos on the dri

Over 10 years ago the Rana Plaza collapsed, a wake up call across the fast fashion industry and aspirational designers worldwide. Here we share reflections on the Rana Plaza, and a bit of the why behind Green Matters.

We have transformed from a commercial business to a community service in the past

This is your Monday reminder that the way to extend the life of your garments is to take good care of them. Don't worry - it's not that hard! Simply use gentle detergents (dish soap works great 😉 ), avoid acids (wash out with cold water - not hot! if there's a spill 🫗 ), and store out of direct sun.

Buckle up because we're getting in the time machine, kids. Two years ago Winona & Bixa took a trip out West to run a pop-up event at a concert in Salt Lake City. We couldn’t help but extend the trip a few days to spend some time in the Wild West, driving through Idaho on our way to the Grand Tetons.

Maggie's back (from Peru) to tell you that the Amber dye lot is wrapping up in just a few days! This recipe is a great way to tone down vibrant shades that might be a bit loud for your current wardrobe - reds, pinks, oranges and yellows are great colors to send to the Amber dye lot to modify the col

"I just received my Italian linen, baby pink dress (which I hand selected in Italy) that I sent you to dye in your October rust color. There is a big problem..... it turned out so beautiful that I now want to dye EVERYTHING! I am sooooo pleased with the results. "

"I received the clothing back and I am SO STOKED. They both turned out better than I could have imagined and can’t wait to send yall more stuff in the near future. This breathed new life into the garments I sent you and I’m excited I get to wear them out again. "
