Artisanal Coloring Pigment Process

Rainbow

#1

Rainbow is a hand-dyeing technique for finished garments that applies color in a controlled, gentle way. Each item is submerged in a sequence of light pigment baths. The slow absorption creates a textured, slightly washed effect. This preserves the natural structure of the knit and keeps the fibers' original qualities.

#2

The short pigment baths help maintain the original hand feel of cotton, linen, and viscose, the fibers we most often select.

#3

Rainbow creates a unique finish because the color moves around the garment in an uneven pattern. Along stitched lines, seams, and areas with higher tension, the pigment does not penetrate as much. This leaves lighter outlines that highlight the construction of the piece. These lighter traces are a distinctive element of the technique and add visual depth without covering the texture of the knit.

#4

The washed look produced by Rainbow carries the Ploumanac’h coastal identity. It recalls the effect of salt, light, and repeated wear, which contributes to the casual and weathered character of the garments. Each season introduces new tones while core colors return for continuity. The method is called Rainbow because it has generated a large range of hues over time.

#5

The focus of this technique is the visual result. The technical process aims to keep the fabric open and breathable, maintain softness, and create a natural variation that remains consistent enough for production.
