Lac Raw Powder is one of nature’s most beautiful red dyes, harvested from the resinous secretions of the Laccifer lacca insect. This raw, unprocessed form offers an authentic connection to traditional dyeing — producing shades that range from rich crimson and fuchsia to deep burgundy and violet. Each dye bath brings subtle variation, making every textile truly one of a kind. When used correctly, it delivers strong, lightfast colour and a soft sheen that feels both luxurious and organic. Perfect for artisans and professionals alike, Lac Raw Powder embodies the earthy, natural vibrancy of traditional colour craft while maintaining the reliability expected in modern studio dyeing.
