Through folding, soaking, and dyeing, you’ll experience every step of our slow colour process. You’ll leave not only with a piece of your own, but a memory you’ll wear again and again.
Hosted in the gardens of Gochi, an emerging Westlands favourite for authentic Japanese cuisine & sake.

The Earth is Our Palette
Naturally Dyed, Zero Chemicals
Using turmeric, tea residue, Nairobi red soil and so may more, our indigenous botanical dyeing process is 100% natural—replacing synthetic colorants with plant-based pigments that evolve beautifully over time.
made to evolve
A Patina That Tells a Story
Sun, wind, and water shape the final hues of each piece. This means your garment’s tone will subtly shift and deepen with age, giving it a unique life of its own.
