About me / About business or organisation:
The cultural heritage of BLUEHANDED’s hand-printed fabric are for those who love and appreciate natural indigo-dyed fabrics.

BLUEHANDED is passionate about sharing this beautiful ancient craft. It is slow process of hand cut paper patterns, a soy bean & lime resist paste technique, hand dyed in natural indigo vats using our own fermented indigo leaves. The end result is not only aesthetically beautiful but celebrates traditional skills, natural & locally sourced materials, small family business in a rural community.

The fabric has many possibilities and patterns, including custom designs for men’s and women’s apparel, accessories and home decoration.

Our mission is to work with specialist designers, brands and retailers, to help them offer their customers unique, natural and handmade indigo textiles.
Career history / Company history:
The new London based textile supplier, Bluehanded started up in 2016 by John Abbate. After 25 years in the apparel/luxury industry (Ralph Lauren, Levis, Alffed Dunhill & his own retail consulting firm), John has now gravitated to authentic ancient crafts that can be used in contemporary ways.

The first product to introduce is a decorative patterned, natural, hand dyed indigo cotton fabric.

Future hand made textiles are being developed with other indigenous communities around the world
