About Caroline Harper of CHI Design Indigo: Caroline Harper launched CHI design indigo in 2014. Nature and Art & Crafts are her passions. That year, she traveled to Japan to learn about indigo and resist-dyeing to create stunning, timeless patterns with textiles. Harper returned to South Carolina with the idea of growing the local, historical and long-gone plant and began extracting the pigment for her own use and to sell kits to local dyers and artists.
