Textured Cotton Setup (Organic Cotton/Peony Dyed)

Textured Cotton Setup (Organic Cotton/Peony Dyed) A loungewear set made from textured cotton, perfect for staying cool and comfortable during summer. This set includes both a top and bottom, but they can also be styled separately for outings. (Wearing the set together enhances the loungewear feel.) We recommend pairing the textured cotton top with white pants or denim, or the textured cotton pants with a different shirt. This fabric is produced in the Koshita Takashima region of Lake Biwa, a renowned area for Takashima-chijimi (a traditional crinkled fabric) and crepe weaves. By using strongly twisted yarn for the weft, the fabric develops a unique crinkled texture, or "shibo," due to the yarn's natural tendency to untwist. This creates a crisp feel and breathability from the uneven surface, making it an ideal summer material that doesn't cling to the skin. Textured cotton fabrics have long been used for summer undergarments, known for their slight stretch, a pleasant crispness similar to linen, and a cool feel. This item is dyed using botanical dyes, extracting colors from plants. The peony dye yields a soft, slightly muted pink hue. ● Peony Flower Meanings: Sincerity, Bashfulness The fabric's texture allows for excellent air circulation, ensuring comfort even when you sweat. This set features a French-sleeve top and 7/10 length pants. The vertical crinkles of the textured cotton add an elegant touch. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ * The fabric used is certified organic cotton from Avanti Co., Ltd. * When washing, please hand wash or use a gentle cycle in a net.

[About Botanical Dyeing] Botanical dyeing is a technique that extracts dyes from flowers, leaves, roots, stems, bark, and fruits. After evenly applying a protein-based binder to the fabric to help the natural dye adhere, a small amount of chemical dye is added. This process enhances colorfastness (resistance to fading from light, sweat, and washing) without the need for traditional mordants, resulting in beautiful, natural colors on the fabric. Unlike synthetic dyes, natural dyes are complex mixtures of various pigments. The interplay of different colored pigments, both strong and weak, creates a soft, diffused reflection of light, which is how these gentle colors appear to our eyes. We hope you will enjoy the vibrant yet deep and gentle hues of botanical dyeing. Botanical dyeing is also an eco-friendly method, as it generates less water pollution and consumes less water during the dyeing process, making it kind to both the earth and people.
