The indigo dyeing by Indigo Classic begins in the soil of Nara, from tilling the earth to sowing the seeds. Standing in direct contrast to production that prioritizes efficiency, they adhere to a process integrated with the rhythm of farming, spending an entire year to nurture a one-of-a-kind indigo color.
From the “ai-konashi” (drying and winnowing) after harvest to the 100-day process of “sukumo” (fermented indigo leaves) production, the work is devoted entirely to staying close to the breathing of the indigo and drawing out the vital force of the microorganisms. This includes farm work under the scorching summer heat and managing the fermentation of the indigo in the severe winter cold. This accumulation of “ordinary days,” characterized by an almost overly sincere and steady effort, is the very source of an unwavering beauty that permeates deep into the fibers.
The pieces shaped through this process teach us the luxury of walking alongside the passage of time itself. The deep blue, born from repeated dyeing and oxidation, gains character the more it is used in daily life, beautifully evolving into a story unique to its owner.
Quietly coloring the casual moments of everyday life, these works remain a long-lasting companion. We believe that this color, born from the land of Nara, will lead the user's daily life toward something richer and more certain.

A boxy silhouette combining a generous width with a compact length. It is a standard piece with adult elegance that looks stylish even when worn on its own. The material is a thick jersey fabric made from thick No. 10 slub yarn. The rich irregularities on the fabric surface trap air, creating a soft and fluffy texture. Despite its solid thickness, it has minimal contact with the skin, preventing it from sticking and allowing the breeze to pass through the garment. You will appreciate its tough practicality, providing a dry wearing experience even in midsummer, every time you put it on.

This oversized stole is made of kaya (mosquito net) fabric, a tradition of Nara, carefully dyed with indigo. Despite its luxurious size of 190cm x 110cm, it is surprisingly light, feeling as if you are wearing air. This fabric, which is so thin that it is translucent due to its coarse plain weave, has excellent breathability and water absorption, keeping the skin feeling dry without trapping heat even in hot seasons. Since the large fabric holds plenty of air, it protects your neck with a soft warmth when it is chilly. The sensation of the fabric becoming softer and blending with your skin the more you use it is a comfort you will never want to let go of once you experience it.
