“Tie-dye has always been popular, but this year the sales are particularly good. It has basically exploded in the market. It accounts for 40% of my family’s sales.” Shaoxing Tuoxuan Textiles Co., Ltd.’s Cai Li said. Tuoxuan Textile is mainly engaged in children’s clothing and women’s knitted fabrics. Cai Li said that different base fabrics can produce different tie-dye patterns, while tie-dye patterns made from the same base fabric are relatively fixed, and the differences are very small. Common tie-dyed fabrics include tie-dyed knitted fabric, tie-dyed denim, tie-dyed fabric, etc., which are used to make shirts, dresses, skirts, denim or casual jackets.
Shaoxing Shuole Textile Co., Ltd. mainly deals in various tie-dyed fabrics, plaid fabrics, etc. According to Zhang Yueyue, the person in charge, tie-dyeing is more random and individual than other printings, which perfectly solves the problem of matching shirts. Clothing brands have also begun to like to integrate tie-dye style into clothing. Mark Huafei, La Chapelle, and Balabala are all their cooperative customers. “The beauty of tie-dye lies in its endlessly changing blooming effects.

With the rapid development of modern printing and dyeing technology, traditional hand-made tie-dying has been given new life. Digital printing has the characteristics of rich colors, natural gradients, and delicate textures. Combined with the traditional tie-dye process, the rich folk art style of tie-dye is better displayed. The tile pattern designer suggested, “Tie-dye colors have a strong sense of layering and are suitable for summer. Friends who choose to try tie-dye clothing for the first time should not choose something that is too bold. If you choose poorly, you will be the hardest hit area.”
The use of printing is very common in the fashion circle, but tie-dye is unique. Tie-dye style can be said to be a missed fish in the 2020 fashion circle. This summer, it has returned to the public eye. Its use is no longer limited to clothing, but also covers bags, ribbons, socks, shoes, etc. In addition to big brands such as Dior and Gucci being displayed at the show, Adidas has also launched limited edition tie-dyed running shoes. Champion’s hooded sweatshirts are combined with tie-dye, giving the sports and leisure look a “national style and beautiful boy” style.
