INDIGO NEW ITEMS AND SPECIAL FEATURES

New tie-dye T-shirts have arrived,
so we're featuring indigo dyes with different dyeing methods, even though they're all indigo-dyed.
 

■About Indigo Dyeing

Indigo dyeing involves soaking fabric or yarn in a vat of dye, then exposing it to air to oxidize and reduce it, which is when the indigo color first appears.

 

■Indigo Tie-Dye

Tie-dyeing requires a process of tying up the item before putting it into the indigo vat.

By tying each item by hand, the parts that do not come into contact with the dyeing liquid remain uncolored, creating random patterns with an uneven texture. The way it is tied determines the finished pattern, making it an important step in the process.

 

 

Indigo Dyeing Variations

Through the expertise cultivated over many years, skilled artisans can delicately adjust the amount of indigo dye, allowing for flexible variations in shades, such as the dark and light colors shown in the images.

The subtle changes in indigo color depending on the season and temperature of dyeing can be said to be one of the unique charms of indigo dyeing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ■ "Aging" that occurs with use

One of the greatest appeals of indigo items is their "aging."

The characteristic of changing in appearance and providing the joy of nurturing it as it fades with more use

is a major charm of indigo dyeing.

 

The expressions you encounter vary greatly depending on the frequency and environment of wear,

and your affection for your own piece will undoubtedly grow with each wear.

 

We hope you will experience the "joy of nurturing" this summer with ANACHRONORM's indigo items.
