We will explain on the day the precautions for washing. Also, if you are staying nearby on the day, you can pick up your clothes the next day or later. *We hang them up to dry while we store them here, but they may not be completely dry depending on the weather. Thank you for your understanding.

When dyed with natural materials, the appearance of color changes depending on various conditions such as temperature and time. Depending on the location, it may be light or dark, but it may not be exactly the same even if it is dyed in the same way. You may be worried about unevenness compared to ordinary clothes that are dyed beautifully and evenly, but I hope you will enjoy the unique and original color that is unique in the world. The beautiful colors of nature created by the earth not only look good, but also make you feel comfortable to wear.

We also operate a cat rescue cafe. Customers who participate in the dyeing experience can interact with the cats during the experience. We have four rescued cats: Takana Sensei, our mascot cat; Milk Yamaoka, who is only a few months old; Notre Dame Shishamo, who is friendly with everyone; and David Uni, the only white cat. A portion of the sales from these cats will be used for cat rescue activities.

We will also give you an aftercare manual after you take home your dyed clothes. Don't worry, we have detailed information on how to choose, how to dry, etc. We also sell dyes (indigo and ink) for re-dying at our store. You can re-dye it yourself to create a new pattern and color.
