Introduced to Japan from the continent centuries ago, the cherry blossom blooms briefly yet brilliantly, arriving all at once to announce the return of spring. More than a flower, it has become a symbol deeply woven into Japanese culture—celebrated for both its beauty and its fleeting nature.
To honor this tradition, cherry blossoms are gently boiled to extract a soft, natural dye, used to tint the weft yarns a delicate sakura pink. The warp yarns are rope-dyed using a blend of natural and synthetic indigo, creating a deep blue tone with the richness of natural indigo and the familiar, evolving fade of classic denim.
These yarns are blended with our own homegrown organic cotton, resulting in a fabric with exceptional texture, breathability, and moisture absorption. The outcome is a heavyweight denim that feels alive—designed to age gracefully while telling its own story over time.
