Natural Dye Re-Dyeing Service

To help you enjoy your favorite piece for as long as possible, we offer a re-dyeing service for our naturally dyed products.

Natural dyes gradually change in color over time. Fading and subtle shifts in tone caused by wear and washing are part of the unique beauty of natural dyeing.

Much like breaking in a pair of denim jeans, each piece develops its own character depending on how it is worn and the time spent with it.

After you have enjoyed these natural changes over time, the garment can be dyed again, allowing it to take on a new expression.

We believe that our craftsmanship does not end when a piece is made. Re-dyeing and continuing to wear it for many years is also part of the life of the garment.

Products Eligible for Re-Dyeing

Our re-dyeing service is available only for single-color products that were naturally dyed by us.

Available Dyes & Prices

Indigo Dye – ¥5,500
Bengara Dye – ¥4,400
Soot Dye – ¥4,400

As a general rule, we re-dye each product using the same dye that was originally used, layering new color over the existing shade.

Products dyed in multiple colors, tie-dyed items, and other products with special dyeing techniques are not eligible for this service.

Depending on the condition of the product, we may not be able to accept it for re-dyeing.

Important Information About Re-Dyeing

Unlike conventional synthetic dyes, our natural dyeing process uses dyes derived from natural materials.

Please note that we cannot restore the product to exactly the same color as when it was new.

The final result will vary depending on factors such as the condition of the dye, temperature, humidity, and the condition of the fabric after years of wear. Each piece will absorb the dye differently.

Areas affected by sunlight, perspiration, body oils, stains, or friction may remain uneven in tone after re-dyeing. In some cases, stains that were previously less noticeable may become more visible after the dyeing process.

We see these variations as part of the unique character that comes from a garment being worn and enjoyed over time.

Re-dyeing is not about returning the garment to its original condition.
It is about layering new color over the history and character the piece has already developed.

We hope you will enjoy the one-of-a-kind finish that can only be achieved through natural dyeing.

Re-Dyeing

Each item is re-dyed individually while carefully checking its condition.

Fabric that has been worn for many years absorbs dye differently from new fabric, so we adjust the process to suit each individual piece.

Re-Dye, Re-Wear, Keep Growing.

Fading is not the end of a naturally dyed garment.

The color changes as you wear it,
develops a character that belongs only to you,
and can then be renewed with another layer of dye.

One garment, worn for as long as possible.

We believe in creating products that continue to evolve with the people who wear them.
We hope your re-dyed piece will continue to accompany you and develop new character over many more years.
