〜 Oharayaseni’s textile collection dyed with dye extracted from ingredients found in vegetables slated for disposal 〜
We purchase ingredients that are scheduled to be discarded, such as off-spec items and trimmings, from food manufacturers, restaurants, and farms across Japan, transform them into dyes with our proprietary technology, dye thread and textile, and give them new value before putting them into circulation. Colors born from food that is safe for the body:■FOOD TEXTILE is dyed with safe food ingredients. ■Uses over 90% natural dyes. The gentle colors are proof that chemical dyes are kept to a minimum. ■The source of FOOD TEXTILE colors is vegetables and ingredients that would otherwise have been thrown away. ■It offers a new solution to the problem of food waste. ■All textiles pass the dyeing colorfastness test (= color durability). They are resistant to fading and can be used for a long time.
