This pinafore is made from Japanese indigo cotton dyed and woven in a small fifth generation mill in Mie prefecture. The weave is called Fushiori, which is a soft but structured medium weight textile. Japanese Indigo or 藍染 Aizomé is derived from the Persicaria Tinctoria plant, and has long been revered for its beautiful hues and antibacterial properties. From plant to dye, it takes about a year to produce, which includes a fermentation process as well as a chemical reaction with oxygen, which creates the vibrant blue color. Aizomé, which has been perfected since before the 16th century has now become synonymous with Japanese textiles.
This pinafore features two panels with adjustable ties at the waist. It is also reversible so you can choose the neckline you prefer depending on your mood or outfit.
