〜 A collection of Oharayaseni textile with dyes extracted from ingredients contained in vegetables that would otherwise be discarded. 〜
We purchase non-standard food items and scraps that are scheduled to be discarded from food manufacturers, restaurants, and farms throughout Japan, turn them into dyes using our unique technology, dye thread and textile, and redistribute them to create new value. Colors made from food that are safe for the body: ■FOOD TEXTILE is dyed with safe food. ■More than 90% natural dyes are used. The gentle colors are proof that chemical dyes are kept to a minimum. ■The color source of FOOD TEXTILE is vegetables and ingredients that would have been thrown away. ■We propose a new solution to the problem of food waste. ■All textile have passed dye fastness (= color durability) tests. The colors are resistant to fading and can be used for a long time.
