Bleu de Lectoure

Bleu de Lectoure is an artisanal pastel blue, made in Lectoure, in the Gers.

Also called "Pastel des dyers" or "Bleu de guède", it provides exceptional shades of blue! Once very popular for dyeing textiles, this magnificent color (a sign of nobility) was also used by painters and decorators all over Europe !

Since 1994, Bleu de Lectoure has been highlighting Pastel (Isatis Tinctoria) and in particular:

- We cultivate 12 ha of pastel in organic farming which produces pigment and seeds, for the needs of the company...

- The extraction and natural production (without chemicals) of pure pigment, for use in Fine Arts, decoration, the textile and manufacturing industry...

- The manufacture and dyeing 100% natural, of a range of products ennobled by the pigment (paints, cosmetics, clothing, household linen...).

True craftsmen passionate about this unique color, we are always available to discuss and share our knowledge with you !

If you like this color and want to know more about this know-how, we invite you to discover our history and our products, by attending a detailed visit in the form of a conference (only by reservation), in our workshop-boutique in Lectoure, or by visiting our site and going to our online store.
