The unique iron powder dyeing was handcrafted by dyeing artisans at an ingenious studio in Tokyo, by utilising upcycled iron powder from shipbuilders in Hiroshima prefecture. This mineral dye evokes the natural colour and texture of iron itself.

CARE GUIDE
The five-colour pigment dye is handcrafted by the dyeing artisan, so there is some unevenness in the colour. Due to the characteristics of pigment dyeing, changes in texture and colour fading due to friction may occur over time. Use and store in dry conditions as prolonged exposure to moisture and high temperatures may cause discolouration, colour migration, and odours. If dry dust or sand stains adhere, remove them with a dry cloth or soft brush. For water-soluble stains, wash gently by hand in ambient-temperature water and always dry in its original shape before use. Never use alkaline agents, bleach, fabric softeners, or brighteners.
