The "AIZOME INDIGO" series, which uses natural indigo, is a new addition this season. We had long been exploring the possibility of developing indigo-dyed products, and what we wanted to prioritize was creating products in Nara, just like we do with our socks, by meeting with artisans face-to-face and engaging in dialogue with them throughout the manufacturing process. It was during the process when we came across INDIGO CLASSIC, an indigo dyeing atelier in Nara that handles everything from cultivating indigo plants to making sukumo (indigo dye paste) and dyeing the indigo dyes themselves. This first collaboration project is themed around ‘indigo dyeing x wool.’ This compact scarf is made using recycled wool yarn and knitted loosely on a 3-gauge knitting machine. It can be worn by simply inserting one end into the hole on the other end, and despite its bulky appearance, it is lightweight and easy to wear. The size is compact enough to fit inside a bag. Each product is hand-dyed by skilled artisans, and the appeal lies in the deep colors and appearances unique to natural indigo dye. Enjoy the unique texture of indigo dyeing, which changes the more you wear it.
