Abstract

Fashion is present in our daily lives through our clothes and we communicate non-verbally. Thus, color plays an important role. However, the textile dyeing industry causes several damages to the environment. Therefore, natural dyeing is seen as a possible alternative. This study aimed to highlight the natural dyes as an ecological alternative to the fashion industry along with their cultural and historical importance. For this, a research was carried out in the literature that included articles and books about natural dyes, in the Design area, and also in related areas. The literature pointed out that it is possible to use old dyeing techniques, many of which are sustainable. The return to old practices can contribute both to create jobs, as well as to give value to people’s knowledge and their culture.
