About us

Chizu Blue is a cooperative set up and run by local women, making indigo-dyed products the traditional way. At our bright studio, located in Chizu-cho, a post town deep in the Chizu Mountains, we carefully grow indigo plants from seeds, separate indigo leaves and stems, make indigo dye, and dye fabric by hand.

Color and size :
Each product has a different color and size because we make all our products by hand. The color and size of items you see online are different from the actual thing.

Care Instructions :
Indigo pigment dissolves only in basic solutions; therefore, the color of our products neither runs in the wash nor transfers when using a neutral detergent. Avoid using an alkaline detergent or bleach. Please dry in the shade and store in a dark place, as our products gradually fade due to exposure to UV rays.

Payment methods :
You can pay by credit card ( VISA or MasterCard ) or Amazon Pay.

Shipping :
We will ship your order 5 days after your payment. Shipping method you can choice is only the face-to-face shipping because we would like your order to arrive at your place safely.

Gift-wrap :
We can gift-wrap with clear plastic bags if you want your order to be wrapped. In that case, please select the option at each pages about products. If you want us to gift-wrap several orders together, please select the option at only one page and tell us in the remarks.
