Tenugui Indigo - Gradient Shibori

A Tenugui is a Japanese decorative towel made from a light cotton. Traditionally used as a sling to wrap and carry bento boxes and drink bottles. They can  also used as headbands, neck chiefs or as hand towels.

Since the ancient times, indigo-dyed garments have been known for their insect-repellent, deodorant and antibacterial properties, which the Japanese people also took advantage of in their daily lives. Fabrics with darker hues and hence multiple layers of the dye also have higher durability and thus more sustainable.

OW artisans Naoko and Kota Omae create clothing to show the world the beauty of Indigo as well as its functional aspects. With a mission to reintroduce natural indigo-dyed products into our lifestyle, their artistry is also about appreciating the hidden powers of plants and connecting with the environment.
