Long Sleeve Calm Dress / Kakishibu Iron Mordant GREY

Long Sleeve Calm Dress — Botanical Dye (Kakishibu & Iron Mordant) / GREY

A profound evolution of our Long Sleeve Calm Dress, brought to life through the union of botanical dyeing and iron mordancy. Following the initial bath in Kakishibu (persimmon tannin), the fabric is treated with an iron solution to achieve a smooth, ink-like black and a spectrum of deep, layered greys.

Tetsu-baisen (Iron Mordanting) is a traditional Japanese technique where iron-rich solutions react with the tannins in natural dyes. This process fixes and transforms the hues into a range of sophisticated blacks and moody greys—a method long cherished for lending a calm, grounded presence to wood, cotton, and silk.

Within the realm of "black," the air it evokes shifts with every subtle change in tone. This is a celebration of traditional Japanese dyeing—warm, enduring, and designed to harmonize beautifully with the natural landscape.

Because each piece reacts uniquely to the elements, you will find individual variations in depth, pattern, and character. No two dresses are exactly alike; each is a singular work of art.

Each garment is meticulously dyed by Omae Co., Ltd. in Shiga Prefecture. Dedicated to the theme of "Purification," they specialize in natural materials and sustainable processes that honor the earth, resulting in a truly special piece for your collection.

About the Long Sleeve Calm Dress

Woven into a delicate herringbone pattern, the organic cotton yarn creates a fabric that is exceptionally soft and gentle against the skin. This room dress uses a generous amount of this fabric, achieving a silhouette where volume and button placement are carefully balanced to pursue a sense of "innate beauty."

The Calm Dress was designed to transform your time at home into a period of serenity, elegance, and comfort.

• Functional Details: Snap buttons, hooks, and side zippers ensure ease of wear. The inner cuffs are finished with elastic, allowing you to easily push up your sleeves for daily tasks or housework.

• Double-Layered Comfort: To prevent transparency, the dress features a luxurious double-layer construction. (Please note that dark-colored undergarments may slightly show through).

• Versatile Silhouette: Designed with a reversible front-and-back aesthetic, you can style it to suit your mood or the occasion.
