| Summary: | The rapid development of the fashion and textile industry is faced with significant
challenges related to environmental pollution due to the use of synthetic dyes.
Natural dyes are re-emerging as an attractive alternative because they are
extracted from renewable natural sources, considered safer for human health and
environmental sustainability. Rambutan is one of Indonesia's tropical fruits whose
peel has high potential as a natural dye source because it contains high levels of
ascorbic acid and various phenolic compounds such as tannins, flavonoids,
anthocyanins, corilagin, geraniin, and ellagic acid.
The use of natural dyes has been widely applied to textile materials, especially
cotton, but it has not yet developed on lace materials. Lace fabric is a fine fabric
with intricate hollow patterns, created through looping, knitting, or weaving
techniques. Lace fabric is chosen for its distinctive hollow patterns and
considerable flexibility. Currently, lace fabric is one of the materials frequently used
in fashion, especially for kebaya.
This research uses a mixed methodology with both qualitative and quantitative
approaches. Qualitative data are obtained through a literature review on natural
dyes, textile materials (lace, cotton, and rayon), rambutan fruit (Nephelium
lappaceum), color theory, and kebaya. The quantitative approach consists of
experiments and exploration of natural dyeing processes, including evaluating the
dyeing results through tests for colorfastness to washing, perspiration, and rubbing,
as well as color analysis of dyed fabrics referring to Munsell color theory.
The outcomes of this research include textile products in the form of lace, cotton,
and rayon fabrics dyed with natural dyes, as well as kebaya design simulations to
assess the feasibility of these fabrics as materials for fashion. The entire process in
this research serves as a step towards implementing sustainable fashion and
preserving local wisdom. |
