What is
Eco Printing?
Eco-printing is a textile printing technique that involves using natural materials to create unique and eco-friendly patterns and designs on fabric.
This process typically involves laying plant materials such as leaves, flowers, and bark onto a piece of fabric, then steaming or boiling it to infuse the colors and shapes from the plant materials onto the fabric.
This technique is a sustainable alternative to conventional printing methods that use synthetic dyes and chemicals, as it reduces both water consumption and pollution, making it more environmentally friendly.
Eco printing is gaining popularity among eco-conscious fashion designers and textile enthusiasts due to its unique and sustainable nature.
Indonesian Eco Print
Indonesian eco-print, also known as eco-printing Indonesia-style, is a form of eco-printing that originated in Indonesia and is heavily influenced by the traditional batik textiles of the region.
Indonesian eco-print typically involves the use of natural materials such as leaves, flowers, and bark to create intricate patterns and designs on fabric, which are then enhanced by using traditional batik techniques, such as wax-resist dyeing.
The resulting textiles are often characterized by a blend of organic and geometric forms and are highly valued for their beauty and cultural significance.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Indonesian eco-printing is gaining popularity as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional textile printing methods, as it uses natural dyes and avoids the harmful chemicals and waste associated with conventional printing techniques.

Hand on Hand With Nature
Eco-printing is a textile dyeing technique that uses natural materials, such as leaves, flowers, and other plant matter, to create prints on fabric. It is considered a sustainable fashion practice because it minimizes the use of harmful chemicals, reduces water consumption, and promotes the use of renewable resources.
In summary, eco-printing aligns with sustainable fashion principles by minimizing environmental impact, reducing chemical usage, conserving water, and promoting artistic expression and community engagement. Consumers can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious fashion industry by choosing eco-printed garments and supporting brands that utilize this technique.
