Indigo Hana Regenerative Cotton T-Shirt
We partnered with one of the last living traditional indigo dyers in Japan, Cozo Cazama, to offer one-of-a-kind, beautiful, indigo-dyed T-shirts. As you dress yourself up in this luxurious, handcrafted shirt, you are embraced by the sun, resources, and rain that nourished the indigo and cotton plants, and the love, tradition, and dedication that transformed them.
Soft and unbleached, our organic cotton is a luxurious foundation, hypoallergenic and thoughtfully chosen for sensitive skin, offering a naturally gentle experience.
Revered for centuries, the indigo plant brings a deep, tranquil blue hue, known not only for its beauty but for its naturally refreshing, anti-irritant qualities.
Each shirt is crafted individually in Japan and will be shipped seperately from the other items in your cart.

Sudeep Motupalli Rao
AIZOME is a potential medicine you can wear. What is not there is the usual toxicological profile. But on the other hand, we have the benefits of natural dyes supported by a body of evidence.

AIZOME is unique in their approach among all textile companies I know in their commitment to cradle to grave fully organic design down to even the dyeing process. They are harnessing the known healing power of plants, and deliberately omitting anything that we know can harm your health and the environment we all live in.
Sustainable Fashion pioneer and Professor of Fashion Design at California College of the Arts
Prof. Lynda Grose
There are thousands of synthetic chemicals used in textile dyeing and all of them impact the workers, the environment and us. AIZOME is bringing a completely different way of thinking to textile coloring.
Transforming Textiles, Naturally
The textile industry has a petrochemical dependence. Awareness is growing, but so is greenwashing. According to research by the European Commission, 42% of sustainability claims in the textile industry are false or misleading, due largely to a lack of regulation or enforcement.
Our mission: prove that petrochemicals are unnecessary in textiles. We're embracing innovation, robust regulation, and consumer empowerment. From seed to sheet, we've partnered with organic and ethical manufacturing experts in some of the world's most directly impacted areas — India, China, Turkey — to revive a wiser, more holistic and transparent vision for textile creation, and a steadfast commitment to natural, plant ingredients.
