Light Blue Indigo & Meisen Kimono Top
The main portion of this top is indigo-dyed chambray factory remnant from Okayama, a region famous for Japanese indigo denim. The hem is made from an antique Meisen Kimono. 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.
