The production process of Off the Grain dye begins in the fields of Lombardy and Piedmont. Here Riso Gallo cultivates a special variety of black rice, which reaches maturity between September and October. Once mature, the rice is harvested and undergoes a series of processes in order to be sold. Once the treatment is finished, the water is disposed of, as it is no longer usable in the food chain.
ALBINI_next saves the water used to boil the rice and thanks to its know-how and creativity, transforms it into a natural dye, used by Albini Group to dye various sustainable textile fibres.
