AIZOME's founders, Misa and Michel, created their company with a mission to make healthy and plant-based textiles using the ancient Japanese art of dyeing with natural indigo. Their inspiration came from Michel's mother's experience with skin irritation caused by synthetic dyes in her bed sheets during cancer treatments. AIZOME's commitment to Omoiyari and creating chemical-free, waste-free fabrics has attracted over 1000 customers worldwide.
