Aizome Organic Sheet Set, Deep Indigo

Guided by omoiyari, the Japanese principle of honoring our relationship to all things, AIZOME strives to create textiles that go beyond sustainability, promoting health and accountability for a better future. Founded by Michel May, AIZOME blends ancient Japanese dyeing techniques with modern scientific innovation to produce fabrics that are both beautiful and beneficial. Inspired by his mother’s experience with sensitive skin during cancer treatment, Michel partnered with an indigo dyer to explore the medicinal potential of plant-based dyes, eventually founding AIZOME.

The brand’s collections, which include bed linens and clothing, are crafted using organic cotton and natural indigo dyes. AIZOME’s innovative use of sonic waves in dyeing, known as a ‘sound bath’, ensures vibrant, colorfast, and durable products while addressing the environmental impact of traditional dyeing methods. The benefits of AIZOME’s natural dyes extend even further. Nutgall-dyed textiles offer antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and hypoallergenic properties, soothing properties for skin prone to dryness, irritation or sensitivities. Similarly, Madder Root’s vibrant hues are rich in antioxidants and natural UV protection, enhancing both skin health and textile longevity.

Collaborating with experts in dermatology and textile engineering, AIZOME continues to prioritize health-focused and sustainable design. Their partnership with the University of Cambridge further underscores their commitment to research and innovation. By merging ancient craftsmanship with cutting-edge science, AIZOME redefines textiles as tools for wellness. Explore their collection at the WLLW Shop.
