There are only a few techniques that a single craftsman can learn over a lifetime. Tie-dyeing, such as te-suji-shibori, which is one of the techniques used by Kyoto tie-dye artisan Kazuki Tabata, has been considered a luxury item since ancient times as it cannot be mass-produced because each piece of tie-dye is carefully created by hand.

By not placing restrictions on dyed materials such as cotton and wool, “Tabata Shibori” is realizing a series of collaborative projects that go beyond the boundaries. The beautiful tie-dyeing technique has become known around the world and is attracting attention as the social media society has accelerated in recent years. Shocked by the beauty of the patterns and colors expressed through Tabata Shibori, this special collaboration was realized by having 039LAUNDRY’s flagship model, the American Sea Island Cotton series T-shirts, undergo Tesuji Shibori, one of the Tabata Shibori techniques.

When we create a space where people can gather and have fun, people will naturally gather again.My experience becomes unique to me, and I want to share it with young people while generously passing on my techniques and disseminating it to the world.” Mr. Kazuki Tabata is working enthusiastically to pass on tie-dyeing to future generations.

This is an apparel brand created by Kondo Boseki (President: Daiki Kondo, Naka-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture), which has been particular about making cotton thread for over 100 years since 1917. We offer high-quality T-shirts and sweatshirts that are hand-made by people who take the
craftsmanship seriously, from knitting to sewing, and spare no time and effort. At the foot of the Northern Alps, in “Shinano Omachi, where water is born,” there is a cotton spinning factory that can be said to be the origin of manufacturing, and 039 LAUNDRY’s
one-of-a-kind products are made using yarn made from scratch in this naturally rich factory. Products born from reliable technology and a wealth of knowledge that only a manufacturer can provide have a sense of Japanese “manufacturing” throughout. ・Brand site:
