Because, honestly, the dye is too good.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFading in the sun is usually something undesirable, so our partners have spent decades working on formulas, processes, and even a little superstition to create dyes that aren't so sensitive to it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe bag is still beautiful and will continue to patina - it's just a little less obviously faded than some of the other pieces in this drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCO-195SF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThese pieces started life dyed with madder, the same plant that once gave old British military uniforms their colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBack then it was chosen because it was thought better if blood was less visible on the battlefield.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI bring that up only because it kind of gives you an idea of the richness of tone (and because \"boring\" natural dye factoids is \"Saeed style\").\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e*Each piece features a unique fade, making every piece one of a kind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFades will vary, and we’re unable to accommodate specific requests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Story Mfg.","offers":[{"title":"OS","offer_id":53025936179479,"sku":"SOOSSFBSTREDSF-OS","price":324.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/5994\/1143\/files\/BigShopTote-RedSunFade.jpg?v=1777814574","url":"https:\/\/therightgarment.com\/products\/story-mfg-big-shop-tote-r-t-s-co-195sf","provider":"The Right Garment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
