Help us, feel free to share this message. It is hard to reach people who understand that organic, all-natural, and locally made prayer flags are worth buying instead of synthetic prayer flags.
Our naturally coloured prayer flags are much less colorfast than synthetically dyed prayer flags because no synthetic fixative has been added. Therefore, it is good to adjust our expectations to the natural rate of decay of the prayer flags. In addition, the fading of the colours reminds us that everything is impermanent. As the colours fade, they transform into white prayer flags with black print, just like they were originally made in Tibet.
