The tie-dye has been around long before our time, some noting that it originated over two thousand years ago, however, it's no secret that it was at its peak during the 1960s, loved by hippie and pop-fashion communities around the globe.
Now, like all great trends, the tie-dye print is having a moment once again, donned by fashion moguls and social media style icons alike and included in new collections of some our most favourable designer brands.
