bai minority tie dye. for over a thousand years, the bai minority have used tie-dying as a technique to dye their traditional costumes. the centuries old techniquea are still alive and very popular in dali. we spend a whole afternoon at this magical workshop and shop, marveling at these old hands crafting beautiful traditional nature-inspired patterns into the fabric, inspecting the huge pot of indigo dye and admiring all the pretty tie dyed clothes and fabrics in display in the shade of this tranquil backyard. of course we left with full hands. several gorgeous indigo blue blankets and wall hangings made their way back home with us 🤗
