The indigo-dyed cotton fabric is randomly cut from a larger piece, making each item's pattern and details unique. Please be aware of this individuality!! **> Indigo Dyeing** "Qing" (blue), derived from indigo, yet surpasses it. Japanese Indigo (Persicaria tinctoria) is an annual herbaceous plant from the Polygonaceae family, primarily used for dyeing, from which indigo dyeing gets its name. Indigo dyeing is a form of plant dyeing. Through numerous immersions and the embrace of unpredictable variables, it yields fascinating color gradients and textures. This is the creativity of nature itself, and the allure of indigo dyeing, always offering unexpected delights. **> Plant Dyeing** Plant dyes are sourced from nature. Different botanicals yield distinct colors, imbuing fabrics with pure, soft tones and a subtle fragrance of the earth. While initial washes may cause slight fading, this is akin to colors mellowed by time, offering a natural, tranquil, and lived-in aesthetic. **> Care Instructions** 1. Traditional plant-dyed items have undergone water washing and color fixing treatments. Due to the nature of handmade dyeing, color variations and unevenness are inherent; each product will exhibit slight differences. Please note this! 2. Plant-dyed fabrics are naturally resistant to dirt and perspiration. Localized cleaning is recommended for stains. They can be washed in cold water without soaking. Avoid vigorous wringing. Do not expose to direct sunlight; hang to dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. 3. You may wear it for daily activities and light exercise without needing to remove it. However, as cotton fabric takes time to dry when wet, which can affect its longevity, we advise against wearing it while bathing. **The purer the indigo dye, the less chemical treatment is used for color fixing, resulting in a lower degree of colorfastness. However, this is an indispensable aspect. This fading after use is beautifully termed "luo se" (falling color). Without this process, indigo dyeing would lose a distinct charm.**
