Product Care

Natural dyed items require a little more attention and love when washing and handling these items. To keep your colors as bright as possible, please pay attention to the following washing instructions.

-How to wash-

It is recommended to launder with ph neutral detergent, which is neither acidic nor alkaline. Some natural dyes are sensitive to unbalanced acidic and alkaline ph levels. Using unbalanced PH detergent could fade or shift the colors of your product.

Both hand wash and the washing machine are fine to use.

Hand wash:

Dissolve a small amount of neutral detergent in lukewarm water and gently press and wash. Keep in water for 15 minutes and done!

Washing-machine

A normal spin with ph neutral detergent is completely fine.

After laundering, immediately reshape and flatten the garment, then dry in the shade (natural dyes are vulnerable to the sun and ultraviolet rays, there please dry your garment inside or in the shade).

Please launder separately from white or light-colored items as natural colors may bleed.

Natural Dyes

Natural dyes are all fully biodegradable and won’t harm the environment. They do not create chemical waste water and chemical dyes reaching our skin and pores. Natural dyes are non-toxic to the maker and the user and less likely to cause allergic reactions. In certain cultures it is believed that natural dyes like Japanese indigo protect the wearer of insects and give a cooling feeling.

Japanese Trees

These beads are made out of well known Japanese trees like the cherry blossom or buddhist pine which are often seen in Japanese gardens. I also use trees from the massive Japanese forests like the pine tree or sacred cedar of mt. Koya. The trees are processed by hand into round beads at a small wood factory in Osaka.

Japanese Supply Chain

I make and source all my products in Japan. By having a local supply chain, I minimise transportation-related emissions and have control and close contact with my suppliers. Besides, Japanese made products have a strict quality control and value craftsmanship.
