Japanese indigo (蓼蓝) is an annual herbaceous plant of the Polygonaceae family, primarily used for dyeing, from which indigo dyeing gets its name. Indigo dyeing is a form of plant dyeing. Through multiple immersions and encountering various unpredictable factors, it creates wonderful color gradients and textures. This is nature's own creativity, and it's what makes indigo dyeing so captivating, always offering unexpected surprises. **> Plant Dyeing** Plant dyes are derived from nature. Different herbs and plants yield different colors, imbuing fabrics with pure, soft hues and a subtle herbal fragrance. Upon the first wash, there may be slight fading, but like colors weathered by time, it possesses a natural, tranquil, lived-in quality. **> Care Instructions** 1. Traditional plant-dyed items have undergone a water-washing and color-fixing process. Due to the nature of hand-dyeing, color variations are irregular and uneven; each product will have slight differences, please be aware! 2. Plant-dyed items are resistant to dirt and sweat. If soiled, you may clean the affected area. They can also be washed in cold water without soaking. Avoid vigorous wringing. Do not expose to direct sunlight; hang to dry in a cool, ventilated area. 3. You can wear this item daily for washing and exercise without needing to remove it. However, as cotton fabric takes time to dry when wet, which can affect the item's lifespan, we do not recommend wearing it while bathing. **The purer the indigo dye, the less colorfast it will be due to the absence of chemical fixing agents. However, this is an indispensable part of its charm. The fading that occurs after use is beautifully termed "luò sè" (falling color). Without this gradual fading, indigo dye would lose its unique allure.**
